About G4G

There are 200-250 mountain gorillas living in Virunga National Park which is at least a quarter of the world population. Classed as 'critically endangered', the total population in DR Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, is estimated to be in the order of 800+. Whilst mountain gorillas face threats wherever they live, those facing the population in DRC are intense and ongoing.
