| DR Congo volcano eruption threatens rare chimpanzees |
 DR Congo volcano eruption threatens rare chimpanzees Lava from a volcano in a sparsely populated area of the Democratic Republic of Congo is threatening rare chimpanzees, wildlife officials say. Mount Nyamulagira, 25km (16 miles) from the eastern city of Goma, erupted at dawn on Saturday, sending lava into the surrounding Virunga National Park. About 40 endangered chimpanzees and other animals live in the area. But the country's famous critically endangered mountain gorillas are said to be safe as they live further east. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8437742.stm |
