    Learning Activity 4 Evidence: The Cross River Gorilla Part A

    yeison ortega
    The Cross River Gorilla is a critically endangered subspecies found in highland forests between Cameroon and Nigeria. Major threats to its survival include habitat loss due to logging and agriculture, as well as hunting. With its small population size isolated in different areas, it also faces risks of inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity. To help prevent its extinction, actions could be taken such as donating money to support conservation efforts, building protected areas, and raising awareness about protecting gorilla habitats.

    Evidence: The Cross River Gorilla

    Part A

    Read the following information about the Cross River Gorilla.

    Fuente: SENA

    The Cross River Gorilla is a subspecies of the western gorilla that is usually
    found in montane rainforest between 1,500 and 3,500 meters and in bamboo
    forest from about 2,500 to 3,000 meters. It differs from the other subspecies of
    gorilla in skull and tooth dimensions. They live on a small area of high-land
    forest on the border of Cameroon and Nigeria. They have been classified as a
    critically endangered species. (World Wildlife Fund for Nature, s.f.)

    Part B

    Now, for completing the evidence you need to carry out a little research on the
    web to find out the major threats for the Cross River Gorilla. With the
    information obtained, write a short paragraph describing why this species is
    facing extinction and the consequences of its hypothetical extinction. Make sure
    you use conditionals in your text.
    The major threats for the Cross River Gorilla are Habitat loss
    Many Cross River gorilla groups live in unprotected forest and face the
    threat of habitat loss through logging and as local people clear land for
    agriculture and cattle grazing.

    Hunting
    As forests are opened up by timber companies, hunters move in.

    Loss of genetic diversity


    The subspecies also faces the risk of inbreeding and loss of genetic
    diversity due to the small population size and the low flow of genetic
    exchange between the different subpopulations.

    Although areas of unoccupied potential gorilla habitat still remain and can
    provide connectivity between the subpopulations, these areas are not yet
    safe for gorillas to use.

    Other form for help the Cross River Gorilla Buy sustainable wood. By
    purchasing FSC-certified forest products, consumers, retailers, traders,
    and manufacturers help protect gorilla habitat by encouraging sustainable
    forestry and limiting illegal logging. Without the FSC label, your timber
    may well stem from illegal or controversial sources in central Africa.

    If you had some money extra, you would Donate to WWF to help support
    our great ape conservation work.

    If i had a lot money i would visit the gorillas Money earned through gorilla
    tourism contributes significantly to the conservation of the species.

    If I had a lot money I would build of protected areas in Gamba en gabon


    home to western lowland gorillas as well as hippos, elephants and much
    more.

    If i had a lot money, i would


    protect forests from gorrillas.

    If i had a lot money, i would do campaigns for raise awareness of the


    importance of respecting the habit of the gorrillas.
    Part C

    Now, to complete the evidence you need to record a tape in which you describe
    the actions you would execute to prevent the Cross River Gorilla’s extinction.
    Use your imagination to picture several scenarios in which you could help.

    Examples:

     If I had a lot of money, I would donate thousands of pesos for research.


     If I lived in Cameroon or Nigeria, I would build a protection center for the
    Cross River Gorilla.
