Cross River gorilla (gorilla gorilla diehli), Nigeria and Cameroon: The Cross River gorilla is the most western and northern form of gorilla, and is restricted to the forested hills and mountains of the Cameroon-Nigeria border region at the headwaters of the Cross River. The most recent surveys suggest that between 200 and 300 Cross River gorillas remain. The encroachment of farms, dry-season fires and development activities such as road building are continuing threats to the integrity of gorilla habitat. After several years of awareness-raising by conservationists and researchers, hunting for bushmeat has been reduced to a low level, but it is still a potential threat, as are wire-snare traps set for other animals.
