Mountain gorilla
The
mountain gorilla
(
Gorilla beringei beringei
) is one of the two
subspecies
of the
eastern gorilla
. There are two populations. One is found in the
Virunga volcanic mountains
of
Central Africa
, within three
National Parks
:
Mgahinga
, in south-west
Uganda
;
Volcanoes
, in north-west
Rwanda
; and
Virunga
in the eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo
(DRC). It is listed as
critically endangered
by the IUCN. The other is found in Uganda's
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
. Some primatologists consider the
Bwindi population
in Uganda may be a separate subspecies, though no description has been finalized. As of September 2015, the estimated number of gorillas remaining is less than 900.
