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.
Today, as we mark 100 years of conservation, Virunga National Park faces some of its greatest challenges in its history. Ongoing conflict and instability threaten the park, its wildlife, and the millions of people who depend on it.
Yet there is hope — and you can be part of it.
