Virunga National Park
With Your Help, We Can Safeguard Virunga's Mountain Gorillas
Mission Statement
Virunga National Park, Africa’s most biodiverse protected area, exists to protect 1/3 of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas, over one thousand species of mammal, bird, reptile, and amphibian, and provide a brighter future to more than four million people affected by conflict.
Why Donate to Virunga National Park?
Your support is essential for conserving one of Africa’s largest populations of wild mountain gorillas. It empowers the Park’s 98 specialist trackers from the local community to continue their critical work, often under challenging conditions. These trackers enter the gorilla sector daily to monitor habituated gorilla families and locate and safely remove snares, helping to protect their habitat amid ongoing regional conflict.
The international community has played a crucial role in protecting this keystone species. Despite many challenges, in 2018 mountain gorillas were reclassified from critically endangered to endangered—a success made possible by this invaluable support. Your help strengthens our conservation efforts and empowers Virunga’s team to protect this vulnerable species.
