Description
The Mountain Gorilla reserve is located in the Virunga volcanoes Conservation Area, in the Western Rift Valley of Africa, where the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and Congo (formerly Zaire) join together. This is a part of the African Great Lake District, in the western branch of the Great Rift Valley. The Virunga includes eight volcanoes, both dormant and active, the highest rising to over 14,000 feet. The steep slopes are heavily forested, and provide one of only two remaining habitats for the mountain gorilla. The entire area is protected within the Park National des Volcanoes in Rwanda, the Park National des Virunga in Congo, and the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. These three parks together make up the single contiguous Gorilla reserve. Virunga National Park was inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger at the 18th Session of the World Heritage Committee (1994) in the wake of the war in neighbouring Rwanda and the subsequent massive influx of refugees from that country which led to massive deforestation and poaching in the park and surrounding region. Subspecies G. g. beringei, the mountain gorilla, is found at high altitudes (from 5,400 to 12,440 feet or 1,650 to 3,800 m) in Zaire, Rwanda, and Uganda.
