Question

Use the Lincoln Index to monitor this mountain gorilla population over time:

Gorilla hunting is illegal in some regions and carefully controlled in others, though there is a high demand for illegal bush-meat.

  • Deduce between which two years illegal hunters were active in the forest.
  • Explain the long recovery time for the population
The table illustrates numerical data spanning from 2003 to 2008 for three variables, \( n_1 \), \( n_2 \), and \( n_m \), along with an empty row labeled \( P \).

| Year | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 |
|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
| \( n_1 \) | 23   | 26   | 27   | 16   | 18   | 17   |
| \( n_2 \) | 25   | 30   | 35   | 18   | 19   | 24   |
| \( n_m \) | 18   | 22   | 21   | 15   | 16   | 17   |
| \( P \)   |      |      |      |      |      |      |

### Description
- **Years** are listed across the top row, marking data points from 2003 to 2008.
- **\( n_1 \), \( n_2 \), and \( n_m \)** represent different data sets with values provided for each year.
- **\( P \)** is currently left blank, possibly indicating missing data or a row reserved for future input.

This table can be used in educational contexts to analyze trends over time for each variable.
