THE CROSS RIVER GORILLA

SOLUTION:

The major threats for the Cross River Gorilla are…

Among the main threats that the gorilla must face are the following:

 If the habitat of the gorillas is destroyed they begin to die and become extinct.
 When humans perform the indiscriminate hunting of gorillas they die and become extinct.
 If people consume their meat there will be more demand for it and they will die faster.
 If people continue to kill them for fun and as a trophy, the gorillas will become extinct.
 As gorilla populations are fragmented when humans build villages and roads, gorillas
become vulnerable.
 If roads are built near gorilla populations, gorillas could be run over.

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

EXAMPLE

 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.

MY ACTIVITE:

 If I had a lot of money, I would give thousands of pesos to the foundations that fight for the
protection of the gorillas.
 If I were part of the government of Cameroon or Nigeria, I would create strong laws against
hunters.
 If I were a United Nations prosecutor, I would put those who illegally cut down trees and
destroy their habitat in jail.
 If I lived in Cameroon or Nigeria, I would create a protection refuge for the gorillas of the
River Cross.
