[National Geographic Wallpaper] Western Lowland Gorillas (저지고릴라)


Odzala National Park, Republic of the Congo
2003
Michael Nichols

"Central Africa has been a relatively safe haven for gorillas and chimpanzees, compared to East and West Africa, where their habitat has been overrun by human expansion. But now thousands of apes in the western part of this region are dying from one of the world's most dreaded diseases: Ebola.
"... Now Ebola is striking in the Congo, where the Lossi Gorilla Sanctuary has lost about half of its gorilla population. By the time you read this, Odzala National Park (pictured), which has one of the world's highest known densities of gorillas, may have become Ebola's next target."
