Fake Gorilla tracking permits

Bwindi is home to half of the world's population of the highly endangered Mountain Gorillas therefore making it the leading tourist attraction in Uganda. In order to track these brown eyed beautiful mammals successfully, one has to book a permit in advance as the gorillas are migratory.
Given its delicate habitat, Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has a policy of regulating the number of tourists that enter the forest in order to minimise degradation.
however it has been discovered that fake tracking permits are circulating.
