Protecting Nature

At Virunga, we believe that the future of Africa’s oldest national park is inseparable from the well-being of the communities that surround it. Through the Virunga Alliance, we are unlocking the park’s vast potential – creating jobs through eco-tourism, delivering renewable energy to fuel businesses and homes, and empowering farmers through sustainable agriculture. This work is not just about conservation – it’s about building a thriving green economy that uplifts people while safeguarding one of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes. Explore our project map to see how together, we are shaping a brighter future for Virunga and its communities.
