Document: For example, there are believed to be only around 1000 mountain gorillas left in their entire range 43 . With such small populations, the introduction of a new highly infectious disease is a potential extinction-level event. Re-opening access to habituated great ape groups for tourism purposes, which may be critical to local economies 44 , may be fraught with issues. IUCN best practices recommend that tourists stay at least 7 metres away from great apes 45 , but in practice, almost all tourists get far closer than this -for example, the average distance that tourists get from mountain gorillas at the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda is just 2.76 metres 46 .
