2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Mountain Gorilla, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Silverback Mountain Gorilla

Species: Mountain Gorilla | Location: Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

I took this photo of a silverback mountain gorilla on a trek in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. There are only an estimated 700 mountain gorillas remaining in the world. Despite many conservation efforts, the gorillas continue to face major threats from habitat loss and poaching.
