Gorilla Conservation Bushmeat Project: Save the Great Apes Great apes -- gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos -- are being hunted to extinction for commercial bushmeat in the equatorial forests of west and central Africa. A ragged far flung army of a few thousand commercial bushmeat hunters supported by the timber industry infrastructure will illegally shoot and butcher more than two billion dollars worth of wildlife this year, including as many as 8,000 endangered great apes. It is time that those of us who care about the survival and well-being of the apes, and all life in Africa, confront this crisis.

NASA - Gorillas in the Midst of Extinction NASA satellite imagery helps scientists better understand land changes in the Virunga Conservation Area which covers the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda and the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda.

The other 320 gorillas reside in the nearby Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. Rescuing Orphans from the Ape Trade Learn about the WSPAîs EscAPE campaign to rescue orphans from the ape trade in Africa. Limbe Primate sanctuary, the site of the rescue efforts, is the only refuge for once captive apes in Cameroon, housing 14 chimps and 2 gorillas. In the Congo Republic alone, up to 600 lowland gorillas and 3,000 chimpanzees are killed for their meat each year.
