SECURING THE FUTURE FOR MOUNTAIN GORILLAS

The International Gorilla Conservation Programme is a unique coalition of
international conservation organizations joining forces with national and local
partners to ensure the long-term survival of the now endangered mountain
gorillas.

Support Us


Here in the mountainous forests of central Africa live the last remaining
mountain gorillas. Now endangered, mountain gorillas number barely a thousand.

They have only this one home, a network of parks crossing the borders of Rwanda,
Uganda, and the DRC. The International Gorilla Conservation Programme acts as
steward to a legacy of collaborative and inclusive conservation, contributing to
the protection of this place and the gorillas who depend on it.

IGCP has maintained a constant effort over the decades, innovating and adapting
its approach to effectively support the conservation of mountain gorillas at the
population and transboundary landscape levels, working to backstop and enhance
the capacity of individuals and institutions across international borders.

Our collaboration, across the three countries has enhanced social and political
support for conservation, enhanced tourism revenue-sharing among park adjacent
communities and improved effectiveness in the management of the mountain gorilla
parks.

These achievements have yielded results, with the mountain gorilla moving from
Critically Endangered to Endangered by a review of the IUCN Red List of
Threatened SpeciesTM in 2018, but so much more must be done, and you can help!

WHERE DO MOUNTAIN GORILLAS LIVE?

Mountain gorillas only live in one small part of the world – the afromontane
forest habitat that straddles the shared borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Afromontane forest occurs at high altitude
in mountainous terrain, usually in deep, steep-sided valleys and gorges.
Mountain gorillas are found in Virunga National Park, DRC; Volcanoes National
Park, Rwanda; Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Uganda and Bwindi Impenetrable
National Park, Uganda. Find out more below:
