There remain in the planet about 650-700 individuals of mountains gorillas, the specie of the Gorilla Gorilla Beringei. In 2006 is undergoing a new survey to update on the gorilla population. The numbers are shared between Uganda, Rwanda and Congo, which are all part of the Virunga Conservation Area. Moreover, Uganda has another forest, Bwindi Impenetrable, which is the Ugandan gorilla sanctuary. Some of the gorilla families have been habituated for the so called "gorilla tracking", the trekking in the forest in search for the beautiful primates. There are 5 families in Uganda Bwindi Impenetrable, 5 in Rwanda Parc des Volcans and 6 in Congo Virunga National Park.
Mountains gorillas are peaceful vegetarian animals. Their diet mainly consists of foliage. They most enjoys the tender rainy season mountains bamboos, as well as the bark of eucalyptus trees. The gorilla family is led by the male silverback, who is actually very knowledgeable about the medicinal plants and herbs. After eating the gorillas take a resting interval of a few hours before feeding again. When resting the are playing around. In the evening the group, which has not a fixed location, will form a nest for spending the night. The nest is made by bamboo sticks and other broad leaves to provide a blanket against the cold. Gorillas can live up to 45 years and the silverback can weight about 200 kg while the female between 80 to 120kg.
The Lowland gorillas, the species of the Gorilla Gorilla Graueri, can be found in Kahuzi - Biega National Parc (KBNP) in Congo. After many years of insecurity in the region, now the management of the national park is reviving the tourist activities. There are about 300 lowland gorillas estimated. It is possible to visit some of the families through walking in the forest of the park following the direction of the ranger.
