Do you want
to know why the mountain gorilla is an endangered species? Well,
I'm here to tell you. Today, there are less than
gorillas left in the
world ranging from only 300 to 500. This is mainly due to the
fact that most of their habitats are gone. Unlike tigers, leopard
and elephants that are hunted for their valuable materials that
they produce, mountain gorillas have nothing at all that they can
provide for man. In fact, they do not even have any affects or
whatsoever that brings any close contacts to humans but instead,
they are only the unfortunate bystanders who are surrounded by
the chaos. War has been raging through Africa (habitat of the
mountain gorillas) for a number of years and because of this, the
projected gorilla population declining to at the highest 50% due
to a decline in area of occupancy. Fortunately, recently, many
organizations have been formed that help conserve mountain
gorillas and even you can help by clicking the following link and
