World Gorilla Day is celebrated on September 24th
World Gorilla Day is celebrated on September 24th . This date aims to raise awareness about the importance of gorilla conservation, as well as promoting the protection of these great primates that are in danger of extinction. Gorillas are the largest primates in the world and are found in some regions of Central Africa. However, they face serious challenges due to habitat loss, illegal hunting, disease and other factors that threaten their survival. There are two species of gorillas: the western gorilla and the eastern gorilla, each with specific subspecies. All of them are listed as threatened with extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This day serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving biological diversity and ensuring a future for these emblematic animals.
