Mountain gorillas are found mainly in Central and East African countries, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Rwanda. Less than 900 mountain gorillas are remaining today due to deforestation and the growth of population. Mountain gorillas are becoming extinct because they are forced to leave their natural habitat, and they often get caught in the middle of political wars. Over the past 14 years, mountain gorillas have been highly affected due to small wars happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Animals can be of great benefit to humans if they are well taken care of, as they provide resources to the government. In Rwanda, for example, Gorilla Trekking costs approximately between $750 and $1300. The fact that Rwanda realizes how to make profits through tourism encourages the protection of this animal.
