"In eastern central Africa, the Virunga Mountains stretch across the borders of
Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a line of
formidable volcanoes rising above verdant forest. This is the home of the
critically endangered mountain and eastern lowland gorillas made famous through
the work of the late primatologist Dian Fossey. Today, the gorillas of Virunga
continue to face threats from poaching, habitat destruction, climate change,
and other human activity. There is reason for cautious optimism, however: The
numbers of some populations have increased over the last decade, thanks largely
to a dedicated conservation effort that includes the men and women of Gorilla
Doctors."
