Aujourd’hui, c’est la #JournéeMondialeDesAnimaux, l’occasion de sensibiliser le public et de rappeler l’importance de protéger la faune sauvage à travers le monde, y compris les espèces qui vivent dans le Parc National des Virunga.
De récentes photos prises par notre équipe sur le terrain témoignent de la richesse de la faune sauvage dans le secteur central du Parc : des éléphants de savane à Kihangiro, ainsi que des hippopotames, des cobes à croissant et des phacochères à Lulimbi. Ces animaux, comme tant d’autres, dépendent du travail quotidien des plus de 800 écogardes des Virunga, qui contribuent à préserver leurs habitats.
