GORILLAS FROM CROSS RIVER
posted in 07 Jan 2009

In the jungles of Republic of Cameroon there is Takamanda National Park, where the last 115 individuals of a gorilla species that can disappear completely from the earth if urgent protection action is not taken hide nowadays.

Cameroon and Niger governments agree on providing special shelter in this park, which had been recently created, and in Cross River Park, in Niger, to these 115 gorillas, the last known population of a total of 300 individuals who live in the forests of both countries, around the river named Cross.

Apart from the creation of the new park, the emphasis will be on the work with local population, so that they also protect the gorillas and their habitat, aiming to convert this area, as Virunga Monts, in Conga and Rwanda, in an area of ecological tourism that helps to free the humans that live together with the primates and do not have stable financial support from misery.
