Mountain gorillas have been classified as endangered since 1996, when the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) officially listed them as such. Their population has faced significant threats from habitat loss, poaching, and disease. Conservation efforts have been implemented in recent years, contributing to a gradual increase in their numbers. However, they remain critically endangered and continue to require ongoing protection.

Why is the animal cosidered an endangered species?

Gorillas are mostly endangered because of poaching and smaller habitats. They are killed or fur and for their skulls that are displayed in poachers houses. Also the reduction of habitats is killing them. They need a large area to mate and live since they are always walking around. The forests and jungles have been cut down and gorillas have been forced to all move in one little area. This is over-population. Since all the gorillas share the land they share the food within the land. Eventually all the food is little and cannot support the group. Then the group slowly dies. This is why the gorillas are endangered.
