Two suspected traffickers arrested in Kindu, Maniema, with 131 kg of elephant ivory seized—representing several elephants killed. One suspect is a lawyer registered at the local bar.
The operation was led by the Public Prosecutor’s Office with the @PNC and @IccnRdc supported by intelligence from @ConservC .
This case is linked to a wider trafficking network operating between Kindu, Kisangani, and Kinshasa, where nearly 1 ton of pangolin scales was seized weeks ago.
Wildlife crime is organized crime. No one is above the law
Le Parc National des Virunga est en deuil. La station de Mutshora a été frappée par un déluge dévastateur suite à la crue de la rivière Taliha. Au-delà des dégâts matériels majeurs, nous pleurons la perte d'une collègue, Mademoiselle Natembo Kizungu Noëlla. 🕊️(1/2)
BREAKING: 3 ivory traffickers arrested in Kipushi, DRC.
30kg of elephant ivory seized- permanently off the black market.
Our intelligence support to @IccnRdc made this possible. Collaboration works.
The trail leads to Zambia. Cross-border networks are real. We're dismantling them.
Every seizure counts. 🐘

With the Police of the Court of Matete, @ConservC@IccnRdc supported the arrest of 2 suspected traffickers and the seizure of 1,054 kg of pangolin scales and a lion skull intended for international trade.
This represents the killing of 2,500–3,000 pangolins - a devastating blow

Le reste n’est que du bruit.

The @okapiproject has just been listed on CITES Appendix 1 , and I’m proud to have been physically present, fighting for this moment.
From cracking down on okapi trafficking in the DRC to convincing other countries to support our proposal, @IccnRdc@ConservC@TheWCS , we did it
Conserv Congo is at #CITESCOP20! We’re proud to represent the DRC in advancing wildlife conservation, tackling illegal trafficking, and protecting our precious biodiversity!

@Evebazaiba Ah, bien sûr, quelle chance pour notre population que tu sois là pour « les aider » ! Heureusement que quelqu’un engagé temporairement pour une mission a eu la bonté de nous accorder ses faveurs… Comme si nos droits et notre personnel public n’existaient pas.
A young fisherman lost his life after a crocodile attack in the Mbasumba area, Kabambare Territory. Local villagers, assisted by police and eco-guards, recovered the victim’s body.
Our condolences to the family and community. @Amini16@IccnRdc
@minagri_rdc Arrêtez de politiser l’agriculture. 🌾
C’est la base de notre survie, pas un slogan de campagne.
Les tracteurs ne votent pas, les fermiers oui.
Sans plantations, vos beaux discours restent vides! Recompenses les victimes des conflicts #Mobondo!
