Wildlife Populations Down 73%

BwindiAverage monitored wildlife population shrank 73% in 52 years, WWF says.

Mountain gorillas, once near extinction, now number over 1,100 across Uganda, Rwanda and Congo.

Tourists at Bwindi pay $800 a visit, and villages around the park earn from lodging, carvings and ranger jobs.

Grauer’s gorillas in Congo have fallen an estimated 60% to 6,800.
