Recent work involving researchers from CIRAD revealed that the Grauer's gorilla (also known as the eastern lowland gorilla), one of the four known sub-species of gorilla, is in critical danger of extinction. The sub-species, which lives in the forests of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has seen its numbers fall by almost 80% in the past twenty years, and is one of the collateral victims of the country's civil war.
