Wildlife Conservation Society receives $150,000 grant from Newman's Own Foundation to save gorillas
Date:6/8/2011

s in recent years due to the frequent presence of militia. The grant will be disbursed over a three-year period.

The Grauer's gorilla (also known as the eastern lowland gorilla) is a close relative of the more famous mountain gorilla and lives exclusively in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The Grauer's gorilla is also the largest of the four subspecies of gorilla, with silverback males sometimes weighing more than 500 pounds.

The great ape is currently listed as "Endangered" on IUCN's (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Red List and could number fewer than 4,000 individual gorillas (down from 17,000 estimated in 1995).
