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 major threats for the Cross River Gorilla are…
The main threats through which the gorilla crosses the river cross, stand
out ten, the first is the degradation and decline of habitats; the seconds is
hunting; the third is the trade of his flesh; the fourth is traditional
medicine; the fifth is the use of his bones and limbs as trophies; the sixth
is the sale of lactating gorillas; the seventh is the exposure to human
diseases; the eighth is the development of highways; the ninth is the wire
traps for other species where gorillas fall, and the tenth is that their
population are small and fragmented, surrounded by large human
settlements, which makes them more vulnerable.
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.
