PROTEST AND SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN!

Virunga National Park, at Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is one of the oldest and better care parks of Africa. It is a refugee of protected species, among them 700 species of birds and 200 of mammals. One of these species is the mountain gorillas, the only one which did not have its number reduced, due to protection work (the same thing happens with lowland gorillas of East Africa and chimpanzees).

The new menace comes from several oil companies, among them the British Soco and Dominion, not to mention Total AS and other smaller, which intend to explore oil and gas at protected areas in Congo.

WWF, in its Africa Protection Program, is launching a world campaign to avoid that these oil companies invade the last protected area in Africa and destroy the least jungle and biodiversity reserves of the region.

Visit the link bellow, sign the protest and send your message. It depends on us that the last remains of great primates in Africa and their habitat do not be vanished.
