Product Description
Over thirty years ago, Dian Fossey established the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda to study the behavior and ecology of mountain gorillas. Some of the offspring of the gorillas first studied by Fossey are still being observed today and the long-term observations on known individuals, from birth to death, and data on social behavior within and among the groups have led to an understanding of many aspects of gorilla social structure. Written by scientists who have worked at Karisoke over the years, this book highlights and summarizes what we have learned about the behavior, ecology, and conservation of the genus Gorilla and two other recognized subspecies and provides some comparisons with other gorilla populations elsewhere in Africa.
Book Description
Since the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda was established by Dian Fossey over 30 years ago, the mountain gorillas of the region have been the focus of many studies. This compilation by scientists who have conducted research at Karisoke over the years aims to highlight and summarise what has been learned about the behaviour, ecology and conservation of mountain gorillas, providing comparisons with other gorilla populations from different regions in Africa. It represents the most up-to-date and diverse collection of information available on this endangered ape.
