  • I pray that every hunter will get killed.

  • I wonder what we can do to help. I love gorillas, they are a great animal that has done no harm to us, so why should we do harm to them.

    Does someone have ideas to stop Gorillas from dieing out ????

    ANYONE??

    thanks !! x

  • I hope we will not have to remember them in videos like this.

  • i am so worried

  • Terrible! We must preserve wildlife and wildlife habitats, not destroy them!

  • That's a shame - I like gorillas. Ah well, if they do go extinct, I guess I can take comfort in the fact that we won't be too far behind them, especially if we keep up the way we've been going.

  • "Klaus was a strong man, but when they ordered him to go it affected his heart," said Sunday Nyakunze, an AK-47-toting park ranger trained by Sucker. "That's the only way we can explain the bad thing he did at the end."

    Apparently distraught over abandoning his beloved gorillas, Sucker hanged himself in his nearby village home without leaving a note.

  • Sucker's most formidable foes, however, came from far beyond Mgahinga's bamboo forests and watercolor-blue volcanoes.

    In a backlash as old as African conservation itself, powerful interest groups objected to the warden's gung-ho methods.

    Critics said that Sucker put the needs of animals above those of thousands of impoverished Africans living around his park. When Sucker refused to bend, they quietly lobbied the Ugandan National Parks Service for his transfer.

  • A strapping, 37-year-old German biologist, Sucker infuriated the local Bakiga and Bafumbira hunters whose snares he ripped up, some 7,000 wire traps in all. He earned the wrath of illegal loggers by erecting steel barriers along the park's boundaries. Five years of angry clashes with encroaching farmers had turned his mop of blond hair prematurely white-- much like the hulking, silver-backed gorillas he so admired.

  • Organizations such as the International Gorilla Conservation Program, the World Bank and CARE have chosen the misty jungles and crowded villages of southwestern Uganda as a vast and controversial testing ground for the theory of "community conservation." The idea is simple: To save what's left of Africa's fading wildlife, experts say, the animals must in essence be given back to the Africans, so the Africans will feel more of a kinship with them and feel the need to protect them.

  • Sucker's obscure 1994 death might seem like just another case of environmental martyrdom in Africa; inevitably, his tragedy has been compared to the murder of Dian Fossey of "Gorillas in the Mist" fame.

    But Sucker's story is different, because his most powerful opponents weren't the usual rogue's gallery of xenophobic politicians or greedy wildlife dealers, but competing environmentalists who have launched what is, in effect, a sweeping, last-ditch battle for the soul of wild Africa.
