Main threats:
Only about 250 individuals remain between Nigeria and Cameroon.
Illegal trade in animals, deforestation or diseases are some of the causes
of their possible disappearance.
76% of Cameroon's forests, which are its main habitat, were assigned to
the timber industry in 2000.
Various organizations see ecotourism and education as a possible solution.
The populations of the Cross River gorilla are at the limit and their small habitat
is disintegrating due to the advance of the human population. They only inhabit
a very limited space in Cameroon and Nigeria. The situation has worsened
since 2005. Many of their groups are already isolated without the possibility of
subsisting for a long time. Limbe Wildlife Center (LWC) and Great Ape Project,
which has carried out several projects in Cameroon, is making enormous efforts
for its conservation. Only 250 individuals remain in 9 areas with an area of
12,000 square kilometers between Cameroon and Nigeria, five of which are
unprotected without any surveillance or conservation.
