In the Virunga mountains between Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, the mountain gorilla population has grown from 242 individuals in 1981 to more than 1,000 in 2020. This success has brought new challenges. Rising numbers have led to increased conflict between gorilla clans, often with fatal consequences for infants, and risk of exposure to diseases. In response, Rwanda plans to expand gorilla habitat by 23 per cent, a move that will require the relocation of around 3,400 families.
