Organization: Wildlife Conservation SocietyProtecting western lowland gorillas through a demographic study of the social organization and population dynamics for a regional and national monitoring program. The project will help ensure the long-term survival of gorillas by providing baseline demographic and life history data on this elusive species, by helping to inform habitat zoning and increasing awareness of local communities to help curb illegal logging and bushmeat hunting. The DWCF has been supporting this program since 2008.
