Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Emmanuel De Merode, Director for Virunga National Park, gives an account of the struggle to save one of the world's great national parks with its population of mountain gorillas, renders accessible to an audience one of the darkest conflicts in recent history, the bloody civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is not just a story of bleak and bloody facts: ultimately it is a story of determination and courage and how a small unit of Congolese park rangers, community workers and local environmental activists brought about a miracle in African wildlife conservation.

Wie kommt man an solche Aufnahmen???
Prince Emmanuel, brings nobility in blood and soul! May God continue to bless you, keep it and use it to help Virunga: people and our animals! God, please make humans more like Emmanuel!
Hope you recover well to keep up your fabulous work. The Park needs you.
I hope by sharing this wonderful talk in many directions that those currently undergoing awful challenges will rise up in hope and love to overcome destruction and hatred. Thank you!
Thanks to Virunga documentary, I found a new inspirational hero. No one would even know he is a prince - that speaks volume of how humble, kind and a real good man he is. May God always keep you safe!
This man deserves an award. Steadfast and heroic commitment in the face of devastating civil war
Our love and blessings go to Emmanuel. May you make a speedy recovery.
Get well soon Emmanuel De Merode. The world need more courageous, brave and inspiring people like you!
It is a wonderful project...our son is there...
Sending you best wishes for a full recovery, Mr. De Merode.
Thank you doesn't say enough but they are the only words I know so thank you, with all my heart and soul - thank you for what you do. God bless each and everyone of you.
Speedy recovery and hope that you will not be discouraged to continue the great work you do. Our institute was involved from the start of the Parc almost 100 years ago and we are proud of the Belgian directors that still continue to fight for it.
Our Prayers are with you. Your work is very important to the world.
Just visited Virunga NP a couple of weeks ago, a dream I had held for many years. At the moment it is safe, and it really is as incredible as described, especially the Nyiragongo lava lake (although the trek is quite tough) and the mountain gorillas, which are a really unique experience! Hope to visit again, but until then I will surely do my part to help Virunga NP become one of the world's leading wildlife experiences...
I take my hat off to all the staff and their families. Thank you for preserving such a special part of our world.
Get well soon!!
Deepest thanks, Emmanuel, sending you best wishes and get well soon!
