Senkwekwe is the world’s only facility that harbors orphaned gorillas that lost parents during the Congo wars and uprisings, and gives the gorillas a second chance at life. Among the most protected areas of Africa and the continent's first national park, Virunga was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. It's home to active volcanoes and hundreds of endemic species including the eastern gorilla and the golden monkey. While living in Goma, I spent much time traveling through the lush, remote 3,000-square-mile area, full of grandeur. Virunga made headlines recently when 12 of its park rangers were killed while protecting people and animals in the park, ever at the mercy of poachers, militias, and others looking to take advantage of park resources.
