Fewer than 650 mountain gorillas and 40,000 lowland gorillas are left in the world.
n They are being hunted for food and to be used as amulets and such. Logging and other causes of loss of habitat is also killing the gorillas
In the past, carefully controlled gorilla viewing has been a big tourist attraction and major foreign currency earner
for Rwanda. There is still more work to be done.
