WRITING AN E- MAIL

Hello Anne,

Thank you for your email! It's amazing to know that you want to come here. For me, the best time in the year is in September, when the spring is starting. But also, you can coming to Salta in the summer, for the peak season.

Well, if you want to meet young people you should talk with AFS, an foreing- exchange programme's organization. You'll meet new friends, people of another countries and you'll share with they a lot of activities in the town. 

Look Anne! they're guys from AFS

In the other hand, I suggest wearing light clothes, specially for the summer, like T- Shirts and short skirts. But you musn't forget to bring a jacket or a coat, because sometimes here rains a lot, and the weather become cold.

And thanks for your invitation to join the group, it was very polite. Of course you can count with me, we have a lot of thing to do here! 

All the best,

Karina

MOUNTAIN GORILLA

The mountain gorilla is an animal specie in critically endangered. We have two subspecies of the eastern gorilla, and that's one. We can find this animal in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa, within three National Parks: Mgahinga, Volcanoes and Virunga. And also, we can find it in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

This kind of gorilla is a herbivore. It usually eats leaves, shoots and stems, but also feeds on bark, roots, flowers, fruits and small invertebrates.

In a combination of hunting, regional conflict, destruction of its forest habitat, and capture for the illegal pet trade, the mountain gorilla has listed as Critically Endangered in the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species. For that, there are only around 782 mountain gorillas surviving in the wild and 4 in captivity.

The park rangers are people dedicated to protect the gorillas. Their job is defend the last remaining mountain gorillas. Actually, in recent years, more than a hundred rangers have been killed in the line of duty.
