This year, as Virunga marks its 100th anniversary, the reality is stark.Conflict in Eastern Congo has intensified – with most of the region underrebel control. Despite decades of conservation efforts and our mission to foster regional stability, we are once again fighting for survival.
Virunga’s Rangers are not just conservationists—they are first responders, guardians, and protectors of one of the most ecologically rich and fragile protected areas in the world.
Angele’s run is more than a race—it is a symbol of our fight. But she can’t do it alone. And neither can we. In this milestone Centennial Year, we need you to stand with them.
5.5 BTC will fund a full year of life-saving medical care for every ranger on the frontlines, ensuring they can continue their mission—defending Virunga’s wildlife, protecting local communities, and securing its future.
This year, Virunga’s future depends on those who protect it—and those who support them.
Make a crypto donation today.
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.
