Buka, a silverback western lowland gorilla in Republic of Congo's Nouabale-Ndoki National Park. Researchers now estimate that there are more than 360,000 western lowland gorillas in the wild, approximately one third higher than earlier figures. However, those same populations are declining by 2.7 percent annually. CREDIT: Zanne Labuschagne/WCS.
