Friday, 18 April, 2025

Virunga National Park, located in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), stands as a testament to the harmonious integration of environmental conservation and socioeconomic development. Home to unparalleled biodiversity, including approximately one-third of the world's endangered mountain gorillas, Virunga faces the challenge of safeguarding its rich ecosystems while addressing the needs of the 11 million people residing in extreme poverty around its periphery.IIASA is honored to welcome our distinguished guests from Virunga National Park, Dr. Emmanuel de Merode and Gaia de Battista, for a special public lecture on the Kivu-Kinshasa Green Corridor. This lecture is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand about groundbreaking conservation efforts in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions.https://iiasa.ac.at/congolecture
