A mobile phone application has been launched to help protect the critically endangered mountain gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo.



The app, called iGorilla, allows users of iPhones and iPads to follow the lives of gorilla families in the remote forests of the Virunga National Park.



Each app costs $4 (£3), with most of the money going to the park.



The mountain gorilla population has been reduced by poaching, civil conflict, deforestation and disease.
