BEndangered mountain gorillas(大猩猩) are close biological cousins to humans.Over the past decade,people have made more efforts to help their fellow primates.And now,the results are proving to be positive.According to new information given by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and the World Wild Fund for Nature(WWF),the total world population of mountain gorillas has risen in the last two years.While mountain gorillas remain an endangered species,this increase is largely due to the actions of conservationists(保护工作者).“Mountain gorillas are the only great ape experiencing a population increase,”said David Greer,the WWF’s African Great Ape Program Manager.“This is largely due to strong conservation efforts and successful community work.”Strength in NumbersIn 2000,the total population of mountain gorillas was only 320.The low number was a result of illegal hunting,habitat loss,and disease.Since then,the number has risen,but slowly.Mountain gorillas live in Rwanda,Uganda,and Democratic Republic of Congo—all countries in central Africa.To ensure more protection and care,nearly half of the existing population lives in a national park.Bwindi Impenetrable National Park,located in the northern part of Rwanda,is home to 400 mountain gorillas.They have formed 36 social groups and are led by 16 male gorillas.Ten of these groups have become used to human’s research and tourism.Family TiesMountain gorillas are highly social creatures that live in a community environment.Typically,mountain gorillas live in a group of about 30 individuals.The leader is an older male who organises the group for hunting and nesting.This male can weigh up to 500 pounds and stand nearly 6 feet tall.Often he will have silver hair on his back,marking his senior age and dominance(优势) within the group.Like any community,gorillas depend on one another.Now,they are depending on humans to help keep them alive.4.The number of mountain gorillas is increasing mainly because of________.A.fewer and fewer forests being cut by peopleB.the strict laws for huntingC.constantly changeable habitatsD.the efforts of conservationistsD解析:细节理解题。
