Portrait of western lowland Gorilla, Espace Zoologique, Saint Martin La Plaine, France
The western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is the most widespread of all gorilla subspecies.
But it is one of two Critically Endangered subspecies of the western gorilla that lives in montane, primary and secondary forest and lowland swampland in central Africa in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
Large numbers have not protected the western lowland gorilla from decline. Because of poaching and disease, the gorilla’s numbers have declined by more than 60% over the last 20 to 25 years.
Even if all of the threats to western lowland gorillas were removed, scientists calculate that the population would require some 75 years to recover.

This male Western Tanager was the best photo opportunity of the day. Photographed east of Rimrock Lake at Jumpoff Meadows, Yakima County, Washington. I found surprisingly few birds compared to past visits. None of the usual Western Bluebirds, Red-tailed Hawks, Canada jays.and more. Even American Robins were scarce and there are usually dozens of them. IMG_7182
