mickfinn says:
The Democratic Republic of Congo's Virunga National Park and the surrounding Virunga volcanoes region are home to more than half of the world's population of mountain gorillas.
To ensure the long-term survival of this threatened species, teams of rangers monitor and patrol the park's Gorilla Sector. (BBC)
