Abstract
First paragraph: A recent paper in the American Journal of Primatology by Andrew Plumptre and colleagues examined the largest survey dataset for Grauer's gorillas Gorilla beringei graueri to date, collected between 2011 and 2019. Grauer's gorilla range covers over 15,000 km² (just under 5,800 square miles, or an area equivalent to half the size of Belgium) in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The paper has updated our understanding of how many Grauer's gorillas exist in the wild, and the trend in that population size.
