Threatened Kingdom

Meer over het boek

Inside Cover: This book has been produced on behalf of the International Gorilla Conservation Program to provide information about the challenges, facing the survival of one of the most endangered animals on earth, the Mountain Gorilla. The book is intended to show how the social and historical context of the region affect the environment and how the environment has a impact on human livelihoods and the gorillas. The format was chosen so that the information could be used across a broad spectrum of readers. The people who reside in the three countries where these unique animals live are resilient, hard working people who are committed to solving the problems they face. Over the past seven years they have gained my respect and admiration for a number of reasons, but primarily because of their determination to overcome adversity and to continue to provide hope for the future.
