Results of a wildlife survey of the Odzala-Kokoua National Park in Congo-Brazzaville (also known as Republic of Congo) undertaken by the Wildlife Conservation Society has indicated that gorilla numbers in the park have fallen from 40,000 in 2005 to just 22,000 in 2012. The survey was conducted in 2012 and commissioned by Africa Parks but has only been published this month. The wildlife census also found that chimpanzee numbers were stable between 2005 and 2012. Elephant numbers were higher than expected with 9,600 forest elephants now living in the national park. wildlifenews.co.uk/2013/odzala-kokoua-national-park-loses-nearly-20000-gorillas-in-7-years/
