Gorillas are becomingly widely known in the world not only in Africa but all over the Globe.
These ave provided a joint role towards saving the gorillas in their natural habitat as well having in harmony with nature.
.IGCP (INTERNATIONAL GORRILLA CONCERVATTION PROGRAMME)
This is the major body that is responsible for all the fundraising that are used in currying out conservation programmes within the region especially in Uganda, rwanda and DRC congo
.the body also sets rules governing gorilla activities and tracking policies like setting the daily currying capacity .
ITFC( institute of Tropical forest conservation)this body facilitates the rangers in the process of currying out gorilla habituation exercise in the great lakes region of Uganda, Rwanda congo.
Not only that they also pray a role in logistic supplies like GPS suplys,back packers and other field gears.
It does research on gorillas and plants in the field /forest with the best way to ensure sustainable conservation in the region
CTPH.(conservation through public health)
This body provides conservation education programmes in the region to ensure public health awareness
It also serves the best role of eliminating the spread of domestic animals diseases so that such diseases are not spread to the protected areas as this might affect gorillas and other animaals that live in such areas of Bwindi impenetrable forest, Mgahinga park, Volcanoes park and Virunga park.
BMCTLbwindi Mgahinga Conservation trust) this body is partly responsible in providing clean and safest water to the communities around the protected areas as one way of community benefit sharing .it hass provided resettlement programmes to the communities that formelly lived in the forest like the pygmies known as the Batwa tribe by acquiring land for them in the neighbor hood commuuties .
Challenges faced in conservation programmes
The biggest challenge is that gorillas gorillas move away yet it takes more than 3 years to habituate a group.
Black backs when they become silverback this creates divisions in the group thus reducing the number of gorilla family individuals in the same group as the way of them being chessed away from the group.
Natural death is also another strong factor, gorillas live between 45-50 years so one gorilla dies its a big loss to the gorilla family.
Accidents of gorillas falling off from tree branches, a clear example is that on 18th /01/2017 Bitukula gorilla familyin Bwindi impenetrable forest lost one of its Silver back .
Another issue is problem animals like elephants and baboons these break off and eat crops of the communities around thus making communites have complaints
Fire out breaks within the protected areas , these are narmal threats that cause issues to the communities.
