A lot of conservation efforts are being implemented at many levels, from local to international, and involves protection and law enforcement as well as research and education.

Active conservation including frequent patrols in wildlife areas to destroy poacher equipment and weapons, firm and prompt law enforcement, census counts in regions of breeding and ranging concentration, and strong safeguards for the limited habitat the animals occupy is being done quite often.

Habituation of gorillas at the Institute of Tropical Forest Conservation and the community-based conservation supports ownership, provides education on the personal as well as environmental benefits of preserving protected areas, and encourages local people to take pride in and assume some of the responsibility for the protection of their parks.

The public talks attempts to explore the missing gaps in the big effort to save this species from going the “dodo’s way”.
