Cross River Gorillas
The critically endangered gorilla subspecies Gorilla gorilla diehli
is living in the Cross River area at the border of Nigeria and Cameroon.
Gorillas: possibly 280 in a few isolated populations (brown areas).
New surveys suggest that the gorillas are distributed more widely and that their total number is higher. We will report!
