| Gorilla in the Virunga National Park Outside Goma. |
Deep in the heart of Africa lies the small, landlocked
nation of Rwanda. Known locally as “The Land of a Thousand Hills”, the
entire country is covered with deep valleys and steep volcanic
foothills. The Volcanoes National Park, in the north of the country, is
home to an estimated 250 of the world’s 700 remaining mountain gorillas,
and is part of a larger volcanic region known as the Virunga Massif.
Since no mountain gorilla has ever survived in captivity (unlike lowland
gorillas), the World’s entire population can be found at the
convergence of three countries; Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic
Republic of Congo.
