From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the two subspecies of the eastern gorilla. It is listed as endangered by the IUCN as of 2018.^[2]

There are two populations: One is found in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central/East Africa, within three National Parks: Mgahinga, in southwest Uganda; Volcanoes, in northwest Rwanda; and Virunga, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The other population is found in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Some primatologists speculate the Bwindi population is a separate subspecies,^[3] though no description has been finalized. As of June 2018, there were more than 1,000 individuals.^[4]
