The Mountain Gorilla

The mountain gorilla (scientific name gorilla beringei beringei) is a subspecies of eastern gorilla that inhabits the forests of the Virunga Mountains, which border Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is located in Uganda. It can stand (on two feet) between 4 and 5 1/2 feet tall and weigh up to 440 pounds. It has more, as well as thicker, fur than other great apes.

The mountain gorilla is classified as a Critically Endangered species. It is this close to becoming extinct for two reasons. The first reason is that it is hunted for food and poached for land. Because of this, one of the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF's) efforts to save it consists of working to eliminate hunting of it in its protected areas and fund antipoaching patrols in Virunga National Park. The second reason is that much of its habitat has been converted into farmlands and charcoal factories. Because of this, another one of the WWF's efforts to save it consists of working to reforest areas of Virunga National Park and promoting the use of more environmentally friendly practices in the logging industry.
