I am a here to promote and share information on the Critically Endangered Gorilla.

Unfortunately, this was another way to hopefully have some impact, people can see a face to match the loss of so many of these beautiful animals and just how human they are.

Aside from the usual predators such as leopards and crocodiles, gorillas are also negatively affected by human activities. Currently, their natural habitat suffers fragmentation. Habitat loss in the Democratic Republic of Congo is attributed to the mining of coltan, a metallic ore, which, when refined, is used to make components for electronic devices such as cell phones and computers. Timber companies moving into the area and clear cutting forests to make roads adds to more fragmentation which is further compounded when large areas of trees are taken down. Other impacts by humans such as illegal poaching for the bushmeat trade, transmitted human disease, including Ebola hemorrhagic fever, and political unrest, are all contributing factors to the population decline of western lowland gorillas.
