Where have all the Gorillas gone ?

Over the last twenty-five years the worldwide Gorilla population has been reduced from over 1 million, to just over 100,000. A reduction of around 90%. So what are the major causes for such a drastic reduction in their numbers?

These are the three main causes;

1. Their natural environment is being destroyed

2. The Bush meat trade

3. The Ebola Virus  

Let us take a further look into each of the causes. At this point I would like to add a point of importance to me in this moment. My rational thoughts and thinking mind have been greatly hampered of late in attempting to come to terms with something I am adding into this explainnation and conversation. 

 ** A fourth spiritual option has been slipped into my awareness recently

4. The Gorillas are allowing themselves to be caught and eventually murdered as they have a higher connection to their spirit and intuitive knowing than we humans have evolved to as yet.

This has provided the Gorillas two benefits:

1. They get to go live in an alternative dimension which is pure heaven on earth via a portal into a “New Earth”, the reason they do this,

2. Is to bring into humanities awareness a clarity of picture that will end forever the need of another human, head, body, or hands to cold heartley murder another god like creation on this earth again.

Destruction of their natural environment

Habitat destruction is continuing to expand due to the demand for logging, mining, and slash-and-burn agriculture. With the recent expansion of commercial timber exploitation across the region, this has brought considerable demographic and social-economic change and threatened human-gorilla coexistence. Also the additional access routes created for the timber industry also facilitate’s the transport of bush meat.

The Bush meat trade

Commercial hunting for the murder of Gorillas for bush meat now accounts for the most significant threat to the western Lowland Gorilla. Normally their location and environment would be out of reach or accessibility. Yet the access routes created for the timber industry makes a perfect pathway for the transportation and activity for the bush meat trade.

The Ebola Virus  

The Ebola Virus is currently a major threat in the northern border area of Gabon and Republic of Congo, where the majority of western lowland gorillas live. In addition to the human fatalities, the disease has the potential to eliminate the largest remaining populations of the western lowland Gorilla.

What is the ebola Virus?  Ebola causes a hemorrhagic fever, resulting in massive internal and external bleeding that kills within two weeks of symptoms appearing. There is no known cure, and in humans the mortality rate is around 80 percent.  The virus is named after the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, near where the first known outbreak occurred in 1976.

Gorillas in the Mist of change!

The point of this first blog is to provide you with some information and facts that help your knowledge of what I believe to be the most amazing Animal in the present universe.

In my opinion, the Gorilla and in particular the male Siverback is the closest form of animal that mirrors man, that can be supported by the fact that the DNA of Gorillas is highly similar to that of humans.

There are two distinct different types of Gorilla the Mountain Gorilla and the Lowland Gorilla. These can be sub-divided again based on their geograpical location into Western Lowland Gorilla and Eastern Lowland Gorilla.
