Uganda is a global stronghold for mountain gorillas – critically endangered primates, and home to over half of the world’s remaining population. Mountain gorillas in Uganda are a prime example of successful conservation efforts. Through dedicated work by park rangers, non-profits, and the revenue generated from gorilla trekking tourism, their population has been steadily increasing. Tourists participate in guided treks to observe these gentle giants in their natural, high-altitude montane and bamboo forests.
