Vice Guide To Travel: Gorillas In The Midst
WATCH MORE ON VBS TV…….
Recently Congolese rebels led by a pro-Tutsi Jesus freak named General Nkunda seized control of Virunga National Park at the top right corner of the DRC, where it borders Rwanda and Uganda. Virunga is home to roughly of a quarter of the world’s population of the extremely endangered mountain gorillas.
In fact, we agreed so hard that we decided to go to Uganda with Edun Live in order to see some living mountain gorillas for ourselves.
This is our story.
Does anybody know where I can get something to use as a visual aid for my speech on mountain gorillas?
In my oral communications class our assignment was to find a topic to do an informative speech on. I picked mountain gorillas and efforts to increase their population. I will need a visual aid, such as brochures, pamphlets or something maybe I could pass out to the class. It will need to be free or cheap. Any help would be appreciated. Serious help only please.
Thanks. Not really what I’m looking for, of course I don’t really know what I am looking for. Anybody got anything else?
Africa’s endangered mountain gorillas – 25 Sep 07
Al Jazeera’s Yvonne Ndege reports from Virunga National Park near the Democratic Republic of Congo’s border with Rwanda on the endangered mountain gorillas who live in a vast expanse of forest there. There are only 720 of them left on earth. But nine of them have been killed since the beginning of this year. Tracking their footprints, Ndege ventured deep into the forest with a rangers’ patrol to investigate the threats facing the mountain gorillas. The national park is the kind of habitat that gorillas need to survive. But it’s also the theatre of an intense battle between government troops and rebels fighting alongside the renegade general Laurent Nkunda. It’s not just the recent fighting that’s wreaking havoc on the gorilla population. Poachers set snares, illegal “invaders” and also people going into the park to cut down the trees to make charcoal.
