Threats

With rebel troops bearing down on Virunga National Park headquarters at Rumangabo, the decision to evacuate all ranger families has been made. Rangers need to continue their work of protecting the mountain gorillas, and a refugee camp must be built and maintained for their families. The park needs help. Emergency funds are needed to provide proper shelter and a level of sanitation that will prevent outbreaks of cholera and other deadly diseases. Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe already transferred US$ 5,000 to the emergency fund, but if you want to donate yourself too, you can learn how on www.virungacrisis.org
