The vast park is home to more than 80% of these apes, but it has become a lawless jungle battleground. The Congolese authorities, with help from conservationists from organisations such as the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International and the UN are struggling to protect people and gorillas from heavily armed poachers.
