I am delighted to share with you that last week on Thursday October 1st, we signed a management agreement with the Government of Rwanda for Nyungwe National Park, signalling an historic step to secure the sustainability of one of Africa’s most important Afromontane rainforests. Following our decade-long partnership with the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) for Akagera National Park, this new commitment to Nyungwe will preserve its considerable biodiversity and secure lasting benefits for people and wildlife in Rwanda.
The Government of Rwanda has provided global leadership through its actions to achieve meaningful results in the protection of natural resources. Their investment in the restoration and long-term protection of their national parks, integrating biodiversity conservation within a social and economic development strategy, enhances the benefits of these critical ecosystems not just for the nation, but for the continent and the planet.
