Mountain Gorillas help the people
#1
Keeping the Mountain Gorillas safe and encouraging eco-tourism instead of poaching is benefiting the people of Rwanda.
The money from the tourists, funds projects that lift local people out of poverty and give their children a future.

Letting the baby gorillas live is in turn letting the human children live.

This is a sustainable situation. Poaching brought in some money, but as the numbers of gorillas declined it was clear that it was a dead end way to do things. This is life giving and life changing. Everybody benefits(except the people who buy the products of poaching and I don't want them to win).
