How many gorillas are left in the wild?Updated 6 months ago
The two subspecies tracked by the Fossey Fund—mountain gorillas and Grauer’s gorillas—are endangered and critically endangered, respectively. A population of just over 1,000 mountain gorillas remains, while the Grauer’s gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have about 6,800 remaining – having lost 60% of their population in recent decades.
