Grauer's gorilla the endangered ape, is found only in Congo. Estimates are between 5,500 and 28,000.
Patrick Mehlman, vice president of Atlanta-based DFGFI's Africa programmes,says they have discovered two important populations of Grauer's gorilla that were severely underestimated, neglected or thought not to exist. The discoveries were made in Tayna Gorilla Reserve and Maiko National Park, sanctuaries in Congo's lawless east where invading armies and Congolese rebels fought two wars during the past decade.
