Did you know, due to habitat destruction, gorillas are considered an endangered species on Earth and they are an important part of the wildlife ecosystem?

These magnificent creatures play a key role in maintaining biodiversity, by spreading the seeds of the trees they eat from, creating gaps in the forests, as they move around which allows light through, thereby helping sun-loving plants grow.
