CONTUNEIMPACTED SPECIESGORILLA ▼ Only 17% of the gorillapopulation currently lives in protectedregions, and vast areas of gorilla foresthas already been lost. That destructioncontinues as logging companiesopen up fast tracks of forest, forestsare cleared to make space for subsistencefarming or ape habitat becomesfragmented by road building. ▼ Thereis also a strong link between habitatloss and the bushmeat trade. As previouslyinaccessible forests are openedup by timber companies, commercialhunters gain access to areas wheregorillas roam and often use loggingvehicles to transport bushmeat to faraway markets, as well as sell meat toemployees of the logging companies. ►ORANGUTAN ▼ The habitats of Asia’sonly great apes are fast disappearingunder the chainsaw to make way for oilpalm plantations and other agriculturalplantations. Illegal logging inside protectedareas and unsustainable loggingin concessions where orangutans liveremains a major threat to their survival.Today, more than 50% of orangutans arefound outside protected areas in forestsunder management by timber, palmoil and mining companies. ► RHINO▼ As economic development, changesin grassland composition, logging, andagriculture degrade and destroy wildlifehabitats, rhino populations are declining. Those remaining rhinos live in fragmented, isolated areas andare prone to inbreeding, as healthy genetic mixing is more difficult among smaller groups. Also, having alarge population confined to one protected area can lead to the allele effect where breeding is depresseddue to lack of resources and disease can spread rapidly through these highly-concentrated populations.
