INTRODUCTION About gorilla there are three kinds of gorilla ・ the East Lowland gorilla→there are 3,000 ~ 5,000
・ the West Lowland gorilla→there are about 35,000
・ the Mountain gorilla→there are 700 ~ 1,000
Why mountain gorillas are less than others? →I decide to research mountain gorilla
About mountain gorilla ・ they are one of the closest to human in primates ・ about 79% DNA is same as human’s
・ they inhabit forest in Rwanda , Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
・ there are 700 ~ 1000 → they are specified as endangered species
Why the number of them decrease?
In 1980s ・ civil war ・ infection of human disease ・ deforestation etc.
But!
A lot of effort to save them many groups → increase gradually now
ABOUT CONSERVATION GROUP Main group : International Gorilla Conservation Programme(IGCP) 〈 the goal of IGCP 〉

To build and enhance the capacity of the institutions
Regional collaboration
it is imperative to co-ordinate conservation effort ・ ecological monitoring and surveillance ・ tourism development etc.
IGCP acts as a facilitator among three countries
We don’t recognize international boundaries!
Monitoring
Two fundamental questions ①What are the threats to the parks and its wildlife? ②How effective are current management , protection and conservation activities?
Monitoring provides IGCP with the answer
・ park monitoring ・ socio-economic monitoring etc.
IGCP decide many various activities
Monitoring is a cornerstone of IGCP’s programme
WHAT CAN WE DO FOR IGCP~ DONATION ~
Donate ・ we can donate to IGCP from IGCP’s webpage
those donation will be transacted in GBP and earmarked for IGCP via FFI ・ if we wish to make a bank transfer directly to IGCP , we have to research and understand IGCP’s bank details in Rwanda
MY OPINION I think we should translate IGCP’s webpage into Japanese , because this webpage is written in English so Japanese people are reluctant to read.
Japanese people don’t donate for IGCP
