The cost of a permit to track the mountain gorillas will increase from $500 to $750 starting on 1st June 2012.

“This increase comes at a time when there is significant growth of the gorilla population as well as an increasing demand for gorilla tourism,” a statement from the Rwanda Development Board said.

“This means that there is need to continue channeling all our efforts in conservation in order to protect their environment as well as the rare species.”
