Gorilla in Virunga Volcanoes National Park

Endangered mountain gorilla pictured in the Virunga Volcanoes National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The presence of the gorillas in the area draws in an annual revenue of 20 million US dollars due to gorilla tourism and enterprise development. The joint ESA/UNESCO BeGO (Build Environment for Gorilla) project seeks to use satellite data to conserve gorilla habitats.
