World population of endangered gorillas up 26 pct
By Kezio-Musoke David, Reuters December 8, 2010
I strongly disagree to the "uncontrolled bush meat hunting, destruction of its forest habitat for human settlement and capture for the illegal pet trade" leading to the great extinction of gorillas inhabiting African countries and of course all over the world. "Tourism earnings for the countries" greatly affects their way of living, but what is more important is trying to save what's left of the magnificent living creatures inhabiting our world. Trying to save those animals is much more significant for me and I know for some people too because they are also the treasures and beautiful creations of God just like us. But the nature it self is one of the cause of the extinctions of gorillas living, the chain of volcanoes in the "Virunga Massif along the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)". Another reason of there extinction is "human encroachment". We don't have to stop the tourism, people and gorillas or all the living creatures of this world can benefit at same time. The destruction of their home, resulting from the growing human population, and bigger use of forests for agriculture is reducing homes where gorillas can be in this world naturally with adequate freedom and food. The major problem, though, is really the bush meat operation in which hunters kill gorillas and then sell them as food in different places around the world. to please an order for exotic foods. It is just heart breaking that the lives of natural living gorillas could completely vanish if we don’t start disciplining our selves.
