A heartening article from the Wildlife Conservation Society:

A recent census of the Virunga Volcanoes mountain gorilla population has found that the great apes have increased their numbers by 17 percent, according to conservation authorities in Uganda, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and other groups. The results indicate a total of 380 gorillas, up from 324 individuals in 1989, the last time conditions were stable enough to conduct such a census. [...] Another population of 320 mountain gorillas exists in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which brings the current worldwide total of mountain gorillas to 700 individuals.
