This moment was also a moment to turn the page and start again with and for the communities. A real turning point for #Upemba. The expectations and challenges are enormous and no one can meet them alone, it is together that we can make a difference. https://t.co/XMTWoy9JGa

Yesterday it was a sad day for #Upemba National Park and our #ranger family. We lost one of ours due to sickness. Mutomkole Sokombi died in the early morning at the nearby health center. Rest In Peace My Valiant. https://t.co/EMPifnCrxa

Yesterday Virunga lost two environmental defenders. A ranger was killed in an ambush and one of Virunga unsung heroes died in Vitshumbi. Daniel Machozi risked his life for many years to protect Virunga. He will be greatly missed.

Couldn't agree more, of the over 60 protected areas and reserves in DRC not more than 10 have been receiving some kind of support. Even some of the biggest national parks in DRC remain undocumented and unexplored. So much more to discover in terms of biod…https://t.co/isvwUhcq4B
