Photos 10 Reuters Photo Reuters Photo By Fiona O'Brien NAIROBI (Reuters) - Many wild animals in the forests around Congo's Nyiragongo volcano are likely to be harmed by the torrent of lava, ash and sulfurous gas pouring from the crater, wildlife experts said on Saturday. Nyiragongo is one of eight volcanoes on the borders of Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo ( 11 news - 12 web sites) and Uganda, a region dense with tropical forests and famously home to rare mountain gorillas. However the gorillas inhabit only the slopes of the six dormant volcanoes, and experts said they should be safe from direct impact from the destruction inflicted by Nyiragongo on the town of Goma and nearby forest. It is unlikely that the forest the gorillas inhabit will be affected greatly,'' Annette Lanjouw, head of the International Gorilla Conservation Program, said in a statement. The east African representative for the World Wide Fund For Nature, Sam Kanyamibwa, said the recent eruption would affect every level of the mountain's ecosystem, from worms to primates. The problem is the physical destruction of habitat, and of course the sulfur gases over the area,'' he told Reuters in Nairobi. The ecological integration in the whole region is going to be affected one way or another,'' Kanyamibwa said. They are ranked as critically endangered by international wildlife conventions. There are also fears that the lava pouring into Lake Kivu beside Goma will severely contaminate the water and may even cause explosions, due to the lake's unusual accumulation of carbon dioxide in the lower strata of its basin. Is there anyone who thought molten rock wouldn't hurt wildlife? For a minute there, I thought they were in heap big trouble! Without rising temperatures the experts at the UN will latch on to other things, such as this wildlife theme, to justify more world government. Surely Mother Nature wouldn't commit such horrible atrocities against her children without some coercion from the EVIL Humans. Right away, we got to get a court order for the volcano to cease and desist, and if they do not respond, slap it with a fine. Has the cold corporate structure of the volcanoes of the world absolutely NO compassion for these children of nature? We'll bring them to their knees, make them BEG for mercy.
