Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, largely contained within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), comprises a large primeval forest in East Africa at altitudes spanning from 1,160 to 2,607 meters. The Impenetrable Forest, also known as 'Place of Darkness', is located in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the western Rift Valley, only a few kilometers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo border and about 25 kilometers north of the Virunga Volcanoes. It is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth, where half the world's population of the highly endangered Mountain Gorilla live in its jungles. The forest has been recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site for its biological significance. The Impenetrable Forest has been described as "(R)iven by disputes and crosshatched by historical, political, and biological borders," by researcher Craig Stanford, co-director of the park's Jane Goodall Research Center. In 1991, BINP was established as a national park adjacent to the strife-torn Uganda, Rwanda, and Democratic Republic of Congo border region. ==See also== Dian Fossey Jane Goodall Institute ==External links== * [http://www.berggorilla.de/english/gjournal/bwindi.html BergGorilla.de] - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park * [http://www.calacademy.org/research/herpetology/frogs/frogsimp/ CalAcademy.org] - 'Frogs and Reptiles of The Impenetrable Forest' by Robert C.
