Gorillas under stress

D 2020

The number of wild mountain gorillas has risen to more than 1000! A rare success story in the protection of endangered animal species.

But success is linked to new challenges. The last mountain gorillas on earth live in only two very small habitats in eastern Africa. What happens if the number of mountain gorillas grows but their habitat does not?

Recent research results show: The stress level of the animals increases measurably. How strongly do conservationists and experts intervene? And what risks could become a danger to the gentle black giants in the future?

This impressive film takes the viewer into the breathtaking nature of the world's last wild mountain gorillas and explores exciting questions about species protection and the coexistence of humans and animals.
