With the rare and dying numbers of the mountain gorillas dwindling to about 780 in the wild. There have been extreme conservation measures put into place by IGCP (International Gorilla Conservation Programme). Measures that include the use of veterinary care and daytime guarding against hunters this has help with the recently increasing numbers in the population compared to conventional conservation efforts, those numbers have decreased. The increased protection and facilitating veterinary treatment has only helped the growth rates and there are is immense need for resources and extreme measures to save some endangered species.
The fantastic news in reported on June 10, 2011 is that a pair of twin mountain gorillas were born in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, the birth marks the seventh recorded case of twin mountain gorillas ever recorded since the observations started 40 years ago. In the past February, another set was born. Fantastic news for one endangered species.
Hope to see the extreme measures in protection and veterinary care are given to other endangered animals in the world. Examples would include the Panda Bear, Black Rhino, Mako Shark and the Alligator Snapping Turtle are where the efforts of conservation programmes and WWF need to expand with the help of sponsors, donators & companies to help fight the extinction of highly endangered species.
