The mountain gorilla is among the rarest of animals on earth with only an estimated 280 left in the wild, concentrated in the shrinking habitat in a rugged region bordering Zaire, Rwanda and Uganda in East Central Africa. Most knowledge of mountain gorillas has come through the work of Diane Fossey at the Karisoke Centre in Rwanda and it is to there and to the Virunga National Park in Zaire that Boyd Norton has travelled to put together this record of the life and habitat of this endangered species, illustrated with 100 photographs and maps of the region. He also looks at the effect of human impingement upon their habitat and how, ironically, the development of tourism may be the mountain gorilla's salvation.
