There are three subspecies of gorillas: the western lowland gorilla, the eastern lowland gorilla, and the mountain gorilla. All three subspecies are endangered, two are considered critically endangered.

There are approximately 50,000 western lowland living in the wild in Central West Africa.

There are only about 2,500 eastern lowland gorillas living in the wild in the Congolese rainforest.

The mountain gorilla is on the verge of extinction with only 500 living in the wild (and none in captivity).
