With only about 1000 mountain gorillas left in the wild, if nothing is done, there’s a high possibility that future generations will only see them on television or in pictures and books.
There are more reasons to go on a gorilla trek;
- To raise awareness about the plight of these gentle giants
- Receipts from Mountain gorilla trekking generate the much needed funds that are used in protecting the mountain gorillas
- Tourism benefits not only the gorillas but also the local communities that live adjacent to the gorilla parks
There are only three countries where these great apes can still be found in the wild.
