The gorilla thing sounds like great news. And bad news if it means that somebody thinks we don’t need to protect gorillas anymore.
Yeah, it’s kind of like the wolves — the population stabilized, they got delisted, and then a bunch had to be killed before they were put back on the list. I hope that doesn’t happen again.
I just read the story about the gorillas! As dumb as this sounds, I didn’t realize they were so close to extinction. I’m with Noelle though, as great as this news is, I hope it isn’t interpreted as not needing to protect them anymore.
Thanks for the link! Have to join in with the ladies above and admit that I didn’t know about the gorilla situation. In high school some friends and I raised money for chimps, a sort of random grass roots effort, which makes me even more ashamed that I didn’t know.
