Evidence Cross River Gorilla
Part A

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 main threats of the gorilla of the river cross are the advance of the
human population. Currently there are only about 250 individuals left. Due
to illegal trade in animals, deforestation, fragmentation and diseases are
some of the causes of their possible disappearance. 76% of Cameroon's
forests, which are their main habitat, are being used for the timber
industry, the illegal trade of animals is widespread, and includes the trade
in bushmeat, the sale of animal parts for black magic and the pet trade. if
the river gorilla becomes extinct, an imbalance will be generated in its
ecosystem, causing the death of other animals if there is extinction there
will be another population of another species.
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.
