Uganda community plants trees to protect mountain gorillas
Local communities in Uganda are planting trees to protect the habitat of mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, reducing pressure on the forest. Their efforts help safeguard nearly half of the world’s remaining endangered gorillas, ensuring a future for these gentle giants. This conservation work is a hopeful step for both wildlife and the environment.
These gentle giants live amongst the lush-green trees of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in south-western Uganda. The UNESCO World Heritage site is home to about 450 mountain gorillas—almost half of the world’s remaining population of these endangered great apes.
