The Last Stand of the Gorilla

Gorillas, the largest of the great apes, are under renewed threat across the
Congo Basin from Nigeria to the Albertine Rift: poaching for bushmeat, loss of
habitat due to agricultural expansion, degradation of habitat from logging,
mining and charcoal production are amongst these threats, in addition to natural
epidemics such as ebola and the new risk of diseases passed from humans to
gorillas.
