Save the Mountain Gorilla

The Last Stand of Africa's......

THERE ARE ONLY 650 MOUNTAIN GORILLAS left in the world.These huge primates are endangered by habitat loss,war and disease,for wich humans are responsible.They live in highlands forest crossing three national borders in central Africa.Most mountain gorillas are found in the volcanic Virunga mountains at the Volcano National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mgahinga National Park in Uganda. A smaller population exists in Uganda's Bwindi-Impenetrable Forest National Park.

  • check websites for African wildlife societies you can join
  • give or request membership of a wildlife organization as a gift
  • join the WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (WWF)
  • learn about gorillas from TV,the web,books and wildlife magazine
