There are only around 1,063 mountain gorillas left in the wild.
Disease poses serious threats to mountain gorillas. They are highly susceptible to human respiratory illnesses, and we need to assume that the virus which causes COVID-19 is no different. We’re supporting contingency planning to minimise the risk to mountain gorillas during the coronavirus outbreak. Mountain gorilla tourism is suspended, with only essential monitoring of the gorillas continuing.
