Mountain Gorilla Location & Habitat
The mountain gorillas is the world’s most endangered ape found only in small portions of protected afromontane forests in southwestern Uganda, northwestern Rwanda and eastern Congo. The mountain gorillas are one of many species unique to these forests. The forests are also home to many wonderful birds, primates, large mammals, reptiles, insects and plants. They also ensure continued water and medicinal plant resources for the local communities.
The mountain gorillas are divided into two populations. 2003 figures estimate the total population to be about 700 individuals. One population of about 350 is found in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern, Uganda and the other in the virunga Volcano range. The Virunga Volcano range is ecologically homogenous (same flora and fauna) covering three adjacent national parks in three countries: Mgahinga gorilla national park in Uganda, Volcano national park in Rwanda and Virunga national in Congo with a total area of 450km2.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park of Uganda has more than half of the global estimated population of 780 mountain gorillas. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is situated in south-western Uganda, on the edge of the western rift valley( Albertine rift) and is shared by Kanungu, Kabale and Kisoro Districts. It is 331 square kilometers in size and on the altitude range of 1,160 meters to 2,607 meters. The annual average temperatures range from 7C?-20C?with the coldest period being June and July.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park borders Congo and is UNESCO World Heritage site. The park boasts over 326 mountain gorillas, the largest of all Ape species in the world. Bwindi Impenetrable national park is the only forest in Africa in which both Gorillas and Chimpanzees live together. The number of Bwindi chimpanzee population size is unidentified but estimated at 350-400. The forests where the mountain gorillas live are often cloudy, misty and cold. One can even wonder how they survive in such habitat and thus no wonder that their population has not been increasing for some time instead decreasing. At the bottom of the mountains, the vegetation is very dense, becoming less so as you go higher up.
