Byline: ANI Washington, November 24 (ANI): A new study by the Wildlife Conservation Society has determined that western lowland gorillas living in a large swamp in the Republic of Congo are becoming increasingly threatened by growing humans activity in the region.
Because the violence has been so persistent and the research areas so vulnerable, scientists don't really know how badly Eastern Lowland Gorilla populations have been affected.
There are about 130 eastern lowland gorillas living in the high-altitude park in eastern Sud-Kivu province, an area long beset by rebel conflict.
