I am happy to be able to report that, although the Nigerian gorillas are still in a precarious position, they are hanging on; studies are in progress (or have recently been completed) on the three main populations, and hunting pressures appear to have eased.
The three main populations are in the Afi River Forest Reserve, the Mbe Mountains, and the Boshi Extension area of the Cross River National Park (CRNP); the fourth population occurs in the Okwangwo part of the CRNP, adjacent to Cameroon's Takamanda Forest Reserve.
However, the tentative conclusion of surveys in 1987-1988 and in 1990 was that the largest remaining population lived in the mountains in the northwestern part of the Afi River Forest Reserve, where perhaps 40-50 gorillas survived.
