Agreement on the Conservation of Gorillas and their Habitats of the Convention on Migratory SpeciesOctober 5th, 2020
The Mountain Gorilla, Gorilla beringei beringei, occurs in two known populations within three countries, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda. The populations live almost entirely within national parks. One of them is spread around the extinct volcanoes of the Virunga Massif (450km²), which constitute a single contiguous area of Mountain Gorilla habitat. These gorillas are protected officially within Virunga NP in DRC, Volcanoes NP in Rwanda and Mgahinga Gorilla NP in Uganda. The second population is found mainly in southwest Uganda, in Bwindi Impenetrable NP (331km²), on the border with DRC (Butynski, T.M., 2001). The two areas are separated by 25 km of farmland (Sarmiento, E.E., Butynski, T.M., Kalina, J. 1996).
