Gorillas in Danger

Anyone who looks into the eyes of a gorilla or who observes its interaction with other primates can detect its almost-human intelligence. These close relatives of ours are in great danger of extinction. Gorillas’ homes in central Africa are being threatened by hunting, deforestation, and disease. This book imparts the very important message that our activities are harming them as a species. Fact boxes, graphic organizers, and bright photographs support the inspirational narrative.
