There are 354 gorillas currnetly housed in institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. This total includes 168 males and 185 females housed in 50 institutions. One of the SSP's® most important roles is to manage these gorillas as a population, to ensure that the population remains healthy, genetically-diverse, and self-sustaining.
