This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 52%. (I'm a bot)


> Authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Virunga National Park have announced the birth of two mountain gorillas, a development further boosting the endangered species' baby boom under way in the country.

> Conservationists have long sought to protect the world heritage site's mountain gorilla population, even as violence and instability plagued the DRC's eastern provinces in recent decades.

> The mountain gorilla population has increased fivefold in 40 years in the three countries where they live - the DRC, Uganda and Rwanda.

> The International Union for the Conservation of Nature revised mountain gorillas' status from "Critically endangered" to "Endangered" in November 2018.

> The nature reserve estimated its mountain gorilla population at 350 in mid-2021.

> The park said conservation efforts had "a significant financial cost" and the ecological challenges facing mountain gorillas "Remain large" in an area with a high population density, poverty and chronic political instability.
