How Will Climate Change Affects The Iconic, Critically Endangered Mountain Gorillas

 


Climate is one of the most influencing factors affecting the different continents of the earth. The change of climate is the reason for getting the giant dinosaurs getting replenish from the land of earth. So, don’t you think this climate can also affect one of the endangered species of the earth “the mountain gorillas”? If yes, then you are correct. Researchers proved that gorillas having 95% of their DNA matching to the human being so they pose the same problem as the human while there’s a change in the climate.

 

Mountain gorillas are one of the closest primates of a human having the capability to think and live like a human in some parts. The primates living on the higher reason usually face the change of vegetation while there is a change in the climate. It’s been observed that when the temperature is low than the vegetation moves to the higher above the mountain, living the mountain species with inferior space and lesser food. You can spot the mountain gorillas during the dry seasons at your Uganda Safari.

Habitat loss

Gorillas play a vital role in the ecosystem as well as those help in the growth of the jungle. The gorillas while eating spreads many seeds into the jungle as well as their dung works as manure to make the land fertile, resulting in increasing the forest. The main reasons that cause the loss of habitat of gorillas are clearing the forest or deforestation, as we know that dense forest was home to the gorillas so if you clear the forest then they will be having a scarcity of land to live and food to survive.

Disease

Although gorillas are having their DNA matching to human beings so gets affected to diseases similar to human beings as well as the chances of death are quite the same. Although the DNA matches but the immune system of the gorillas are less resistance to the diseases in comparison to humans. 

Poaching

Poaching is one of the worst habits of human beings done for living. In the ancient era, poaching was done for either research by the researchers or by the hunters for food and money resulting in reducing the number of gorillas.

 

How Can We Save The Mountain Gorillas?

Some of the best precautions which we can take to preserve these endangered species are:

·      Stop clearing dense forest and plant more and more trees.

·      Baan haunting or trafficking of animals and alert some strict rule as well as security for the wildlife.

·      Decrease the greediness for money and land inside ourselves.

       Have authenticated animal researchers and doctors who will treat the disease influenced gorilla.

·         During your Uganda Safari, you can donate some money to preserve these species.
