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.
It is currently critically endangered as is the Gorilla beringei
(Gorillaberingei) and the Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla),
so thesituation of all gorillas is really disturbing. And not only that, but it is
in theTop 25 most threatened primates in the world, being one of the 7
mostthreatened primate species in all of Africa.With respect to its worse
situation, it is necessary to continue in this waybecause its threats are
very difficult to eliminate.
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.

If you had a lot of money, you would build nature reserves for the protection of
these animals.
If I lived in Cameroon or Nigeria, I would start campaigns on the importance of
protecting these large animals
If he were president of these countries, he will approve laws that prohibit the
hunting of these animals
If you could land in those countries, I would donate them to natural reserves for
the protection of gorillas
