Article Synopsis
- Western lowland gorillas are the most common subspecies but have been under-researched, and their habituation to humans for tourism is challenging due to low population densities and dense vegetation.
- The article proposes improved methods for habituating these gorillas based on empirical evidence, particularly from the recent success with the Mététélé group in the Djéké Triangle area.
- The habituation method focuses on safety and monitoring gorilla reactions to humans, leveraging past experiences with certain group members to speed up the process while ensuring the welfare of both gorillas and tourists.
