Grauer's gorillas, found only in the lowland and Albertine Rift montane forests of Democratic Republic of Congo, have been long-time victims of poaching in a historically war-torn area. A subspecies of eastern gorilla, it now inhabits just 13 percent of its historic range. The Grauer's gorilla population is estimated to be 16,000 and is located approximately 600 miles from the nearest population of western lowland gorillas.
