1860 21st Defies Endangered Episodes Gorilla Hunted Species Assailants
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This powerful and poignant image captures the moment of defiance from a gorilla, as it faces its assailants during a hunting expedition in the late 19th century. The scene, believed to have taken place around 1860, is a stark reminder of the historical relationship between humans and these magnificent creatures. At the time, gorillas were hunted for sport and their bodies were often used as trophies, contributing significantly to their decline in population. This photograph, a testament to the past, underscores the consequences of such actions. By the 21st century, gorillas would become an endangered species, with two distinct populations, the eastern gorilla and the western gorilla, both facing numerous threats, including habitat loss, poaching, and disease. Despite the challenges, conservation efforts have led to a slight increase in their population numbers. However, it is essential that we continue to raise awareness and take action to protect these incredible primates and their habitats. This image serves as a reminder of the past and a call to action for the future. The gorilla's unwavering gaze speaks volumes about its strength and resilience, but it also highlights the urgent need for us to ensure their survival."
