The news is of course not all good, as other gorilla species still face extreme threats of extinction.
Was just coming here to post that. Wonder how long it takes for hunters to start picking them off... seems like they're already in the area. Wonder if they were gorilla hunters or what... I'm assuming since they're considered "critically endangered" there has to be some rules against arbitrarily shooting them.
