Let’s save the wildlife – Eastern lowland gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri)

Eastern lowland gorillas, also known as Grauer’s gorillas, are found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and are critically endangered, threatened by increased contact with humans. Of the four sub-species of gorilla, all of which live in equatorial Africa, the eastern lowland gorilla is the largest. It’s estimated that there are just 6,800 individuals living in DRC’s Kahuzi-Biega and Maiko National Parks. In 2023, for the first time, Fauna & Flora captured footage of lowland gorillas in the community forests bordering Maiko National Park, where locally-led biomonitoring patrols are helping to monitor and protect them.
