Emmanuel is currently at Rumangabo with Pierre, Eddy and Brent Stirton, the photographer who took the pictures of the July 2007 massacre.

He is at the park HQ working to find a way for the Rangers to get back into the park. The Rangers are desperate to get back to work and protect the flora and fauna of the park.

This is an extremely important process that can open the way for re-establishing our work across the whole of the park including the Gorilla Sector – to which we have not had access now since September 2007. It is imperative that a solution be found.

I will keep you updated as events unfold during this critical time.
