Meeting with Local Leaders near Goma to talk about the future of Virunga
Yesterday I attended a meeting with over 60 people - including chiefs, political authorities, the military, community representatives, educational representatives and Virunga National Park representatives - to talk about the park and the preservation of the wildlife. We are aiming to all work together to all jointly manage the resources of our country. It is important to get all parties involved.
Meeting at Kibumba, near Goma
Taking a break…
The meeting was a success and we founded “Convergence for Conservation and Development”, or CONCD, that will bring together all relevant entities to work toward the survival of our parks. Watch this space.
Daily news from the conservation frontline by Innocent and Diddy, and other Congolese rangers risking their lives to save mountain gorillas of the Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
This is a positive step!!!!
Every time I check in to your blog, something new and fascinating has occured. Nice work!

Congratulations! Hardly a day goes by that you don’t achieve a victory! Well done!
Do the people there know how much people in other countries wish for the survival of their beloved wildlife and the NEED for conservation? I hope they do…these animals and the Rangers have the support from so many people out there. Keep up the outstanding work…..Steph
