The Basics of VVS Diamonds. VVS, or very very slightly included, diamonds have small inclusions that are undetectable to the human eye. In fact, these inclusions are so small that they are difficult to see even with 10x magnification. Typically, VVS diamonds are split into VVS1 and VVS2 subcategories.
Now, over 100,000 western lowland gorillas are thought to exist in the wild, with 4,000 in zoos; eastern lowland gorillas have a population of under 5,000 in the wild and 24 in zoos. Mountain gorillas are the most severely endangered, with an estimated population of about 880 left in the wild and none in zoos.
An eastern lowland gorilla is seen in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park in South Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, in 2012. The population of the worldâs largest primate â a gorilla subspecies that lives in a region of Central Africa beset by conflict â is collapsing. Back in 1998, a team of researchers estimated that 17,000 Grauerâs gorillas, also known as eastern lowland gorillas, lived in the forests of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Since then, the population of Grauerâs gorillas has dropped by 77 percent.
