                                 Gorillas in Crisis
                              By Kathleen Donovan-Snavely


What will you have for supper tonight? Hotdogs? Pizza? Gorilla? It may surprise you to
know that these “gentle creatures of the jungle” regularly appear as the featured entrée at
many a meal served near the African rainforest. That isn’t the only problem that haunts
gorillas lately. The combined threats posed by hunters, loggers, and disease are eliminating
large numbers of gorillas in central and West Africa. The future of gorillas in the wild is at
risk.
                                                                                                    MAP TO

Gorilla meat is a dietary staple for nearly 12 million people who live near the rainforests of
central and West Africa. Some Africans prefer bush meat, such as gorilla, because it
provides an economical source of daily protein. Poor families without the means to                  CAUSE AND EFFECT

only expense is the cost of ammunition and the fee to rent a gun. Some of these same

families raise chickens and goats, but do not eat them. Instead, they sell the animals for the
cash they need for buying supplies. Africa’s population is increasing rapidly, along with its
demand for bush meat. If nothing changes, primatologists fear that gorillas may become
extinct in the next thirty years.

Moving away from one’s childhood home sometimes leaves us longing for familiar places
and traditions. Naturally, the African families who move away from their original
rainforest homes struggle with these feelings of sadness and displacement. Now living in

For them, gorilla feeds the body and the soul as well. This custom brings little comfort to
endangered gorillas, whose females produce only one offspring every five to seven years. It

is easy to see why gorillas are being killed faster than they can reproduce.

While Africans plunder the gorilla population, they are not the only ones. Over the years,
their European neighbors have developed a taste for exotic bush meat as a status symbol.

Trophy hunters value gorillas for their collectable heads and hands. Finally, some hunters
persist in the decades-long practice of trapping young gorillas to sell to zoos and private
citizens across the world. When mature members of the gorilla troop try to defend an
infant, hunters shoot to preserve their prize. Entire troops of gorillas have perished this
way. The international gorilla trade continues even though it is illegal, since the laws are
nearly impossible to enforce. Gorilla populations continue to decline.

  • 36. DRAFTING AN ESSAY Gorillas in Crisis By Kathleen Donovan-Snavely What will you have for supper tonight? Hotdogs? Pizza? Gorilla? It may surprise you to know that these “gentle creatures of the jungle” regularly appear as the featured entrée at many a meal served near the African rainforest. That isn’t the only problem that haunts gorillas lately. The combined threats posed by hunters, loggers, and disease are eliminating large numbers of gorillas in central and West Africa. The future of gorillas in the wild is at risk. MAP TO 1. SUMMARISE Gorilla meat is a dietary staple for nearly 12 million people who live near the rainforests of central and West Africa. Some Africans prefer bush meat, such as gorilla, because it provides an economical source of daily protein. Poor families without the means to CAUSE AND EFFECT purchase food at the market travel a short distance to the rainforest to get bush meat. Their only expense is the cost of ammunition and the fee to rent a gun. Some of these same COLUMNED families raise chickens and goats, but do not eat them. Instead, they sell the animals for the cash they need for buying supplies. Africa’s population is increasing rapidly, along with its demand for bush meat. If nothing changes, primatologists fear that gorillas may become extinct in the next thirty years. 2. SCAFFOLD TO Moving away from one’s childhood home sometimes leaves us longing for familiar places and traditions. Naturally, the African families who move away from their original rainforest homes struggle with these feelings of sadness and displacement. Now living in GUIDE villages and cities, they eat bush meat to feel closer to the past and to their old way of life. For them, gorilla feeds the body and the soul as well. This custom brings little comfort to endangered gorillas, whose females produce only one offspring every five to seven years. It COMPOSITION is easy to see why gorillas are being killed faster than they can reproduce. 3. While Africans plunder the gorilla population, they are not the only ones. Over the years, their European neighbors have developed a taste for exotic bush meat as a status symbol. THE FINAL PRODUCT Trophy hunters value gorillas for their collectable heads and hands. Finally, some hunters persist in the decades-long practice of trapping young gorillas to sell to zoos and private citizens across the world. When mature members of the gorilla troop try to defend an infant, hunters shoot to preserve their prize. Entire troops of gorillas have perished this way. The international gorilla trade continues even though it is illegal, since the laws are nearly impossible to enforce. Gorilla populations continue to decline.
