One of the most intimate wildlife experiences you can have, gorilla tracking in Uganda is a real bucket-list adventure. Daily visitor numbers are strictly monitored with only a handful of permits handed out each day, ensuring that these endangered mountain gorillas remain in the best possible environment with minimal disruption. 🦍🦍 . . . 📸: The Pravasi Traveller @the_pravasitraveller . . #ThePravasi #ThePravasiTraveller #UgandawithThePravasi #travelpics #traveldiary #traveladdict #ThePravasiKiSafari #traveltheworld #travelersnotebook #travel #worldplaces #worldtraveler #luxurytravel #worldtravelbook #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeplanet #natgeouganda #nature #animalsofinstagram #gorilla #Uganda #africa #safari #bucketlist #bestvacations #igtravel #doyoutravel #passionpassport #welivetoexplore (at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAf5Mywn2DC/?igshid=fgpnf7qrxgif

Reposted from @rowenabaker Did you know mountain gorillas are prone to the same respiratory illnesses that afflict humans. A common cold can kill a gorilla, and as coronavirus infects more people around the world, conservationists are warning of the risk to another vulnerable species: Africa’s endangered mountain gorilla. Around 1,000 mountain gorillas live in protected areas in Congo, Uganda and Rwanda, for whom tourism is an important source of revenue. But COVID-19 has led to restrictive measures. The world’s most iconic threatened species - the mountain gorilla could be in danger. UNESCO’s Rapid Response Facility (RRF) is now providing critical emergency support to safeguard the world’s last remaining mountain gorilla populations from this potentially existential threat. The RRF is therefore providing emergency funding to Uganda Wildlife Authority to enable implementation of COVID-safe practices, such as use of personal protective equipment for staff interacting with habituated gorilla groups. Although all tourist visits have ceased, essential monitoring will be maintained to track population health during the pandemic, enabling a swift response to any possible disease outbreak. As well as the risk of disease, there is also increased threat of illegal activities in the park resulting from the economic shutdown. For example, 822 snares were found in the park during March-April this year, compared to 21 in the same period in 2019. The devastating Rafiki to poachers, one of Bwindi’s most famous silverbacks, is evidence of the pressure the park and its precious biodiversity is under. Alongside keeping the gorillas safe from disease, support will also enable extended patrol efforts to cover the gorilla nests overnight, to counter the increased risk of poaching. The status of the Mountain Gorilla was changed from Critically Endangered to Endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2018, representing a rare conservation success story - it is vital that this recovery is not jeopardized. Stay safe my friends.

Reposted from @rowenabaker A post from Uganda's Mgahinga National Park of compiled clips from our trek to meet the Nyakagezi family of mountain gorillas up close and personal. This was a bucket list dream I am so glad to have completed. Mountain gorillas are rare and gentle giants and their survival is once again being threatened. Since our return, a single lightning strike in Feb 2020 took the lives of four endangered mountain gorillas in Uganda. Trully a huge loss for the species and the nation of Uganda. And in June 2020, it was with a heavy heart when I read Rafiki, a gentle silverback was killed by four poachers using a spear. Rafiki was believed to be just 25 years old and was the leader of the famed Nkuringo gorilla family. The post mortem concluded a sharp device or object had penetrated his abdomen and pierced his internal organs. National Parks like Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga National Park are critical refuges for the mountain gorillas once on the brink of extinction. The current pandemic sittuation has prevented these national parks from recieving any visitors keen to trek and observe these gentle giants at a distance. The revenue contributed to the maintenance and security of Uganda's national parks is now threatened as these national parks remain close during this pandemic. With the lack of tourism, I dare say thou it's tough times ahead for us, it is even harder of underprivileged countries dependant on tourism. This vicious circle turns the desperate into poachers and more. I hope I may never come to hear of any more intentional loss of life to these magnificent harmless creatures, who do not deserve to die in the hands of poachers. Yes, that was a silverback that casually brushed past a distracted Farizul Zulkifli and check out the gorilla basking on his back at the end crossing his legs!
