What is being done to solve the mountain gorilla’s endangerdness?


The International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP) was established when The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) worked with Fauna and Flora International and World Wide Fund for Nature, to protect the remaining mountain gorillas.
IGCP works on:
- Through regional collaboration it strengthens the mountain gorilla habitat protection.
- Researching the dynamic between the human population and the natural habitat/wildlife.
- Developing livelihood strategies that are complementary to conservation objectives by working with local communities.
IGCP has had great success which includes the 15% increase of the mountain gorilla population which is now up to 720.
