poachers' snares or exposed to deadly human viruses. They dart the animals
with antibiotics or drug them and operate on the jungle floor.

are suffering from dehydration, mental distress and wounds, and need 24-hour
care.

populations rise, while other great apes, such as orangutans, decline.

advanced techniques, which they hope will help all critically endangered
species, not just gorillas.

belief that the health of one species is inextricably linked to that of its
entire ecosystem - including humans and other animal species. This is
important as disease is often spread by villagers, who, earning an average
of less than a pound a day, delve into the forest for resources such as
water and bamboo, as well as to hunt bush meat.

发帖数: 345 | 11 The region is also a magnet for thousands of eco-tourists - some of whom get
'too close' to the gorillas. The common cold could potentially kill the
animals, which share 98.5 per cent of its genes with humans. But it is two-
way traffic and some of the mountain gorillas, which can weigh 30 stone,
also wander out of the jungle and into villages "out of interest."

发帖数: 345 | 12 The region the Gorilla Doctors operate in is one of the most turbulent in
the world and has been marred by genocide and war. In the past six months
the team have been unable to monitor the gorillas because M23 rebels, locked
in a battle with Congolese government forces, have taken over much of the
Virunga National Park. They cannot say if any gorillas have been killed in
crossfire or hunted for meat during this period. However, the Gorilla
Doctors believe most of the fighters see the financial and altruistic
benefits of protecting the gorillas, and will not harm them indiscriminately
.

. Aside from increasing the gorilla populations, his proudest achievement is
seeing talented African vets 'blossoming' and becoming independent.

发帖数: 345 | 14 Dr Cranfield hopes they can double the population of mountain gorillas to
more than 1,500 and bring the 'one health' of the entire ecosystem up to a
point where the Gorilla Doctors can 'take a step back'. It is expensive work
at an estimated cost of £600,000 per year but Dr Cranfield believes
it is worth every penny.

conservation can work and save a magnificent species but also as a financial

For three reasons ....
1 - Bushmeat ... poachers can sell the meat and make more than the average
income in the region.
2 - Trophies ... some local markets actually sell hands, skulls, etc. as
trophies to tourists.
3 - Private Zoos ... in order to capture a baby, the males and females in
the local group are poached to separate the infant.
