Gorilla Conservation Efforts: Legal Actions to Protect Endangered Primates
Gorilla conservation efforts are supported by a multifaceted approach that includes legal actions, international cooperation, and on-the-ground conservation strategies. The Gorilla Agreement, under the auspices of the Convention of Migratory Species (CMS), is a pivotal legal framework that obliges countries within the gorillas’ range to collaborate on combating the threats these primates face in the wild. It focuses on fostering government cooperation across ten countries to address critical issues such as poaching and habitat loss, which are significant threats to gorilla populations.
