This is footage of gorillas in the bamboo belt of the forests of the Mikeno Sector of Virunga National Park, DRC, in which Mapuwa and Nvuyekure lead the nomadic family on their daily journey in search of food. The Mountain Gorilla is a critically endangered species and its habitat is threatened by the deforestation that is caused, mainly, by the illegal production of charcoal. The only people protecting the gorillas and their forest home are the park rangers. They track, find, observe and film all the gorilla families in the park every single day. It is gruelling and dangerous work. They walk quickly up the slopes of Mount Mikeno for hours and then hack their way through bamboo forests to make sure that these gorillas are safe and well. And there are many predators in the forest; animal and human. There are buffalo, baboons, elephants and, of course, gorillas. There are also poachers, criminal gangs involved in charcoal production, and sundry armed groups. To find out more about the gorillas, the park and the rangers please visit http://www.gorillacd.org.

CDG-DVD-112 – The Congo contains some of the most fascinating natural wildlife habitats in Africa. This fascinating country is home to a remarkable creature, the Mountain Gorilla. Our destination is the Virunga National Park that extends along the borders of the Congo, Uganda and Rwanda.

Close to the border with Uganda is the village of Goma that contains several dwellings and a good market that displays an amazing variety of exotic fruit. After a short but very welcome break the journey continues in a four-wheel drive minibus but this does not last very long as it soon becomes necessary to travel by foot, a daunting prospect but also one inspired by the possibility of spotting the rare Mountain Gorilla in its natural habitat on a journey that will take around two days.
