Mountain gorilla census 2024.
In order to determine how many mountain gorillas are still in existence, the 2024 census is set to begin. Reliable data from the Uganda Wildlife Authority indicates that the global population of mountain gorillas has been rising consistently as a result of successful conservation initiatives in Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The most recent count of mountain gorillas placed their population at 800, with 400 of those animals residing in Uganda’s Mgahinga National Park, 400 in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, and 400 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Virunga National Park.
An outline of the mountain gorilla population
Most of the known habituated gorilla families have given birth to numerous infants in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, hence the population there has been steadily growing since the previous census. Finding out whether the number of mountain gorillas has gone up or down and how to best protect them is the primary goals of this census.
As far as protecting mountain gorillas is concerned, both Rwanda and Uganda have always kept to high standards. Because of this, the number of mountain gorillas in both countries has increased.
Incidents of tourist and ranger kidnaps have been documented throughout the years, and the political situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been damaging to all efforts aimed at mountain gorilla conservation. Rwanda and Uganda continue to be the safest places to undertake gorilla trekking, and the governments get the most money from tourists visiting their gorillas than any other attraction or activity.
