Mountain gorilla population demands restoration. According to census data by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the total world population of mountain gorillas has increased. The number of mountain guerrillas has increased since the estimate of 27. From a count of Uganda’s Bivindi Irrigation National Park.

Mountain gorillas are considered as the most endangered and threatened species among all others. They have less than 90 in the world and can only live in the wild.

Yet because of the harmful human activities such as poaching, civil war, and habitat destruction, mountain gorillas, the sub-species of eastern gorillas, have become the most dangerous types of gorillas. Currently, mountain gorilla habitats are restricted to protected national parks in two regions of Africa.

“Our study has revealed the dire scale of the endangered species market in the Republic of Congo, especially as endangered gorilla meat has been sold.” Overall, ESI estimates that at least 300 gorillas are sold to the market every year in the country.

If the mountain gorilla is extinct, its predators will have less food to eat, and because it is such a large animal, they eat one meal each time, they become full for a long time, if all crocodiles, for example, start eating empty deer, they too. Soon it will vanish.
