Malheureusement, ces singes intelligents font aussi partie des esp\u00e8ces les plus menac\u00e9es au monde. Quelques 700 gorilles des montagnes tout au plus vivent encore dans les for\u00eats d'altitude d'Afrique centrale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Au cours de ces deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, l'Agence spatiale europ\u00e9enne (ESA) et l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'\u00c9ducation, la Science et la Culture (UNESCO) ont utilis\u00e9 des satellites dans leur combat contre le braconnage.<\/p>\n<p>Les images satellite ont permis de dresser des cartes des for\u00eats denses o\u00f9 vivent ces cr\u00e9atures exceptionnelles et contribuer ainsi \u00e0 leur protection contre l'extinction. Les r\u00e9sultats de ce programme ont \u00e9t\u00e9 communiqu\u00e9s au cours d'une r\u00e9union qui s'est tenue le 7 avril dans les locaux de l'ESA \u00e0 Paris.<\/p>\n<p>La r\u00e9alisation de cartes sur le terrain dans des zones de montagnes inaccessibles et de for\u00eats denses est un travail de longue haleine, extr\u00eamement difficile et on\u00e9reux. Malgr\u00e9 la fr\u00e9quente couverture nuageuse, les satellites s'acquittent de cette t\u00e2che beaucoup plus rapidement.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-natural\" data-width=\"400\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2005\/04\/Satellite_images_highlighting_land_cover_change_in_Virunga2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2005\/04\/satellite_images_highlighting_land_cover_change_in_virunga2\/17883287-2-eng-GB\/Satellite_images_highlighting_land_cover_change_in_Virunga.jpg\" alt=\"Satellite images highlighting land cover change in Virunga\"><figcaption>Images satellites mettant en \u00e9vidence l'\u00e9volution de la couverture v\u00e9g\u00e9tale dans le parc national des Virunga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Les cartes satellite montrent la position exacte des limites des parcs nationaux et les endroits o\u00f9 se trouvent les plantes dont se nourrissent les gorilles.
