About World Wildlife Fund in Virunga
10 Sep 2008
The WWF Environmental Program (PEVi) has been working in and around the park for over 20 years. WWF works with the Congolese Wildlife Authority (ICCN) and local communities on:
- Environmental education: the importance of preserving fauna and flora.
-
Preventing deforestation: helping local farmers plant trees, development of energy-efficient stoves that reduce deforestation in the park - currently the main source of fuel wood.
- Securing a long-term future for the park: GPS mapping of the park boundaries and working with communities to manage the resources of the park in a sustainable way.
- Supporting ICCN: technical expertise, training, contribution to operational costs and planning.
