"Fresh nests and poo from that am. With gorilla tracker team from Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary, who provide surveillance and knowledge of the gorillas' movements. From De Vere et al 2010: ""...recently created Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary (KGS), Cameroon, and the results of an analysis of nest site preferences of the gorillas that live there. Qualitative vegetation assessments were made to assign various categories to the topstory and understory throughout the sanctuary, and nest sites constructed between January 2006 and March 2008 were re-visited and assessed for possible site preferences. The habitat map revealed significant anthropogenic impact, with only 57% of the KGS being relatively undisturbed primary forest. Analysis of nest sites showed that ground nests are constructed preferentially in the dry season, on precipitous slopes, in light gaps and clearings, with an understory of mixed herbs. Tree nests are predominantly built in the wet season, in primary forest with saplings as the preferred understory. Gorillas avoid nesting in grasslands and farms, which visibly fragment the remaining forest in the sanctuary. The results have implications for the conservation and management of the Cross River gorilla at KGS, and offer new insight into the nesting ecology of this subspecies. Am. J. Primatol. 73:253â261, 2011. """

Summary[
edit] Description: English: Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) Native to the cross river area on the border of Cammeroon/Nigeria, the Cross River Gorilla is considered to be one of the most endangered primates and one of the rarest. Approximately only 300 left in the wild, and just one in captivity at the Limbe Wildlife Centre, Limbe, Cameroon. This lady gorilla is called Nyango. Please credit Julie Langford (photographer) when using this work, and also raise attention to the work of Limbe wildlife Centre by providing a link to their website.

Summary[
edit] Description: English: Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli). Listed as one of the most endangered primates on the planet, with approximately only 300 left in the wild and just one in captivity. Wild Cross River gorillas are found only at the cross river border of Nigeria and Cameroon. This beautiful lady's name is Nyango, and she resides at Limbe Wildlife Centre, Limbe, Cameroon. Her right eye was damaged while young [probably during her capture by hunters]. I built a special relationship with this very unique lady during my visit to Limbe, but unfortunately, my camera was playing up for the whole visit, and sadly, this is the best shot I got of her. I hope to return one day, with a fully working camera, just to get another image of this fantastic creature. She is a rare gem indeed. Date: 9 November 2006. Source: Own work. Author:
