Sir David Attenborough has lent his support to a fresh push to protect Rwandas endangered mountain gorillas. The naturalist and broadcaster has voiced a 15-minute documentary on conservation efforts by the charity that continues the work of Dian Fossey, the primatologist made widely known by the film adaptation of her book, Gorillas in the Mist. Fewer than 300 mountain gorillas remained when Fossey worked in the Volcans national park in 1967, and although numbers rose to 480 in a 2010 census, the species is still listed as critically endangered by the authoritative Red List. theguardian/environment/2014/apr/08/david-attenborough-voices-mountain-gorilla-documentary
