People & Gorillas
In their natural habitat, gorillas come into contact with humans from time to time. Humans have hunted gorillas probably ever since they came to live in the same habitat, but over the past decades the relationship between people and gorillas has become more multifaceted. In some regions gorillas have been habituated to the presence of humans, at first for research, later also for Tourism. This habituation has also led to new Conflicts, in addition to the ones that had been known previously.
