Virunga National Park is one of our planet’s most special places. 🦍 🌾
It is Africa’s oldest and most biologically diverse protected area. With over 2,000 plant species, 706 bird species, and 218 mammal species, it’s a sanctuary of remarkable biodiversity. It’s the only park in the world with three species of great apes and more bird, reptile, and mammal species than any other African protected area. As a
#KeyBiodiversityArea (KBA), it’s globally important for ecological health.
Located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Virunga faces challenges from armed conflict, poaching, and human encroachment. Re:wild, with the European Commission and Virunga National Park, works to restore ecosystems, conserve great apes, and promote economic growth.
