Learning activity 4Evidence: The Cross River Gorilla Part A Read the following information about the Cross River Gorilla. Fuente: SENA The Cross River Gorilla is a subspecies of the western gorilla that is usually found in montane rainforest between 1,500 and 3,500 meters and in bamboo forest from about 2,500 to 3,000 meters. It differs from the other subspecies of gorilla in skull and tooth dimensions. They live on a small area of high-land forest on the border of Cameroon and Nigeria. They have been classified as a critically endangered species. (World Wildlife Fund for Nature, s.f.) Part B Now, for completing the evidence you need to carry out a little research on the web to find out the major threats for the Cross River Gorilla. With the information obtained, write a short paragraph describing why this species is facing extinction and the consequences of its hypothetical extinction. Make sure you use conditionals in your text. It is currently critically endangered as is the Gorilla beringei (Gorilla beringei) and the Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), so the situation of all gorillas is really disturbing. And not only that, but it is in the Top 25 most threatened primates in the world, being one of the 7 most threatened primate species in all of Africa. With respect to its worse situation, it is necessary to continue in this way because its threats are very difficult to eliminate. Part C Now, to complete the evidence you need to record a tape in which you describe the actions you would execute to prevent the Cross River Gorilla’s extinction. Use your imagination to picture several scenarios in which you could help.
