A very big part of saving declining gorilla populations is helping their
human neighbors prosper as well. I'm glad to see that researchers who work
with gorillas (like in this documentary:
http://www.explore.org/explore/africa/films/176 ) understand that local
populations living near gorilla habitats can have reciprocal relationships
with gorillas. Like you state in the article, gorillas can bring tourism,
while local inhabitants can contribute to the protection of gorilla
families. We are so similar in so many ways, why not help each other?
