Gorilla gorilla Savage and Wyman 1847
LEGAL STATUS
The species is listed on Appendix I of CITES, and in Class A of the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. In all countries with gorilla populations, laws controlling hunting and capture exist. However, a lack of funds to employ game wardens and inaccessibility of many of the areas of Central Africa make enforcement of this legislation impossible.15
