Why mountain gorillas are so important

Gorillas, like all wild animals, play an important role in their environment. Without these large-scale grazers eating lots of vegetation, the natural balance in the food chain would be disrupted. This could negatively affect other wildlife in the area, and ultimately the people who depend on that environment for food, water and other resources.
Ecotourism; socially and environmentally responsible tourist visits, including carefully guided trips to see gorillas are an important way for local people to gain benefit from living in close proximity to gorillas. It's estimated that one mountain gorilla can indirectly generate £2.5 million over its lifetime from tourist income.

The main threat to gorillas is people and the associated increasing pressure on the gorilla's habitat. With so few individuals in the wild, the mountain gorilla is listed as critically endangered. The good news is, their numbers have recently been rising. It’s not too late for us to protect our mighty mountain cousins.
