Evidence: The Cross River Gorilla

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… hunted
extensively in the past, meaning the remaining population is shy
and avoids human contact. the fourth is traditional medicine5 the
fifth is the use of his bones and limbs as trophies this the sale of
lactating gorillas the seventh is the posure to humandiseases the
eighth is the development of highways the ninth is the wiretraps for
other species where gorillas fall! and the tenth is that their
population are small and fragmented! surrounded by large
humansettlements! which ma'es them more vulnerable.

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.
