International Gorilla Conservation Programme

The goal of the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP) 
is to ensure the conservation of mountain gorillas and their regional 
afromontane forest habitat in Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic 
Republic of Congo (DRC).

IGCP: Gorillas - Tourism
http://www.mountaingorillas.org/gorillas/gorillas_tourism.htm

The annual revenue earned directly from gorilla tourism is estimated 
at US$3 million. When combined with the additional income received 
by, for example hotels and restaurants, the total figure may exceed 
US$20 million shared between Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic 
Republic of Congo (DRC). Tourism, even when well managed, undoubtedly 
poses a certain health risk to the gorillas (see Threats), but its 
contribution to the welfare of the local communities is crucial.
