CR: Critically EndangeredIncreasing population
Faces an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
Mountain gorillas face threats from habitat loss due to human encroachment and poaching. However, dedicated conservation efforts, including anti-poaching patrols and community engagement, have led to a slow but steady population increase. Responsible tourism provides vital funding for these conservation programs and incentivizes local communities to protect the gorillas and their habitat.
