Standing on the front line, the Park’s brave Rangers tackle daily threats such as poaching, habitat encroachment, and, most perilously, militia occupation. More than 200 Rangers have lost their lives protecting Virunga’s “great wealth,” pride of the DRC and people the world over. Without these guardians of biodiversity safeguarding fauna, flora, and the Park’s UNESCO world heritage status, wildlife and local communities living in and around the Park could not flourish.
