about this story

They sat there, sad faced, disconsolate. Their home and habitat destroyed by the ever growing demand for hard wood by countries far away from the gorillas home. The trees were hacked out of the rainforest, the animals and plants that the gorillas called neighbors were destroyed either intentionally by the hunters or were forced to leave to try and find the last few reserves of pristine rainforest. The wood was sawn into logs and stacked up behind fences, ready to be shipped overseas.
The buyers? They were the well off of so many countries, eager to have a beautiful table, chair or fitting made out of tropical hard woods. Eventually the logging roads became paved, the once wild jungle tamed and empty of life.
And the loggers turned their eyes further into the countryside.
