100 Years of Protection.

A Future Worth Fighting For.

In 1925, Virunga National Park was established as Africa’s first national park. For a century, it has stood as a sanctuary for endangered wildlife, a lifeline for communities, and a symbol of resilience in the heart of the Congo.

As we celebrate a century of protection, we also look to the future — a future where people and nature thrive together.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re calling on our global community to help us reach 100 ETH for 100 Years — a milestone of hope and innovation that will power the next century of conservation.

Your support can shape that future. Together, we can keep Virunga — Forever Protected.

 

WHY DONATE CRYPTO?

In many countries, donating cryptocurrency is classed as a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This can make Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax efficient ways to support Virunga National Park. However, you should consult a tax professional for specifics about your country.
