Volcanoes National Park /Background
Volcanoes National park was opened in the year of 1925 (initially as part of the first National park in Africa: Albert National park) and it was created with the major aim of protecting the endangered Mountain Gorillas.
The park is located in a chain of dormant Volcanoes called Ibirunga in the northwest of the Country. The volcanoes include Muhabura, Gahinga, Sabyinyo, Bisoke and Karisimbi. The park lies within the former provinces of Gisenyi (15%) and Ruhengeri (85%) a long the boarder of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda and is part of the Albertine or western Rift. The Park is continuous with other two parks in the neighboring Countries; Virunga National Park in DRC and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda; and the three compose the ecosystem of Virunga Massif.
The Mountain Gorillas’ survival today thanks to Diana Fossey’s research that was buried at her research center in the Virunga’s alongside the Animals to which she dedicated her life to. Fossey became a household name following the release of the biographical film gorillas in the mist, set and short on location in the Volcanoes National Park. Critical and public acclain ensured that gorillas in the mist also served to raise International awareness of the plight of the Mountain Gorillas.
