In the 1980s, conservationists protected gorilla habitat across 3 countries despite poaching and disease. 46 years later, about 1,000 mountain gorillas still survive in forests

Mountain gorilla numbers are steadily increasing due to dedicated conservation efforts. These efforts have helped the species recover from severe threats and near extinction. Restoration projects are vital for protecting endangered species and their habitats. The mountain gorilla population, though growing, still requires significant protection. Continued habitat management ensures the long-term survival of these great apes.
