Not specific to mountain gorillas here, but I too have wondered how conservation will fare. I have been looking for a new job since July and been really unsuccessful, Conservation Careers published an article back in April saying how the conservation sector had been impacted by COVID-19.
I have noticed it in different areas, I read a newspaper that for ages has spoken about how committed they are to spreading awareness about climate change and environmental destruction. Since COVID, environmental stories have appeared further and further down the pages, their charity appeal is now based on helping young people through these hard times.

Conservation needs all the help it can get!

I am part of the team that runs WAWA Conservation. We are a new organisation that is aiming to increase awareness and raise funds for weird and wonderful animals that need conserving.
Our first campaign is focused on saiga antelope, scalloped hammerhead sharks and Philippine eagles, but we plan to run twice yearly campaigns, but there are many amazing primate species that need conserving so they are definitely on the cards!
