It’s #WorldGorillaDay! What better way to celebrate than to hear from our Gorilla Keepers as they discuss the members of our troop 🦍

Western lowland gorillas are listed as Critically Endangered, losing approximately 3% of their population per year. Because of poaching and disease, gorilla numbers have declined by more than 60% over the last 20 to 25 years. Sadly, even if all of the threats to western lowland gorillas were removed, scientists calculate that the population would require 75 years to recover. #EndExtinction
