CORRECTED: Gorilla among 200 endangered species threatened by conflict: conservationists 28 April 2021 By AFP 2 min 38Approximate reading time Civil unrest and military exercises pose heightened risks to more than 200 threatened species, including elephant populations and the critically-endangered Eastern gorilla, conservationists warned Wednesday. A report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature examined the close interplay between the environment and armed conflict, warning that human violence and unrest were taking a devastating toll on nature. The report stressed that sustainable management of natural resources should be seen as a tool to help preserve peace. “Degradation of nature increases the likelihood of conflict, while wars devastate not only lives, but also the natural environment,” IUCN director general Bruno Oberle said in a statement.
