VIRUNGA NATIONAL PARK, Congo — The first census of critically endangered mountain gorillas carried out by the government since rebels seized the area shows that 10 babies have been born in the past 16 months, wildlife officials said Monday.
The fragile habitat in the Central African highlands, which is home to some of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas, was overrun in 2007 by rebels and soldiers.
A deal between the insurgents and President Joseph Kabila’s administration last year allowed staff to return to Virunga National Park.
