Knowing this, can you tell us what was your motivation for pursuing this career?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We studied Ecology in school, and it was there that my interest in nature started to grow. I remember my teacher talking about the importance of preserving our forests and the wildlife that lives there. When I graduated high school, I saw that Virunga was recruiting rangers. I needed a job and was interested in working in conservation, so I applied. My application was accepted, and I completed basic training. I then became one of the first female rangers of Virunga.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What challenges, if any, did you face during your recruitment\/training stage?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My male colleagues in training thought I couldn\u2019t make it because they had never seen a female ranger before. But it was fun proving them wrong. And they eventually became very supportive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you encountered any particular difficulties as a female ranger within the industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Again, during basic training, the men all laughed at us. They did not believe that we could be rangers. But we proved them wrong and now they support us. Being a female ranger and having a family with children is also a challenge, as we have to be on duty all the time. It\u2019s challenging balancing home life and work life sometimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think tourists have a positive reaction to you as a female ranger?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, very much. The tourists are happy when they see female rangers. They like talking to us, they like taking pictures with us. They like that we are women doing a man\u2019s job.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-955992\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-spacer wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light mobile-space-100 tablet-space-100 desktop-space-120\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\">\n<\/div>\n\n<section\n        id=\"wak-acf-block-734297\"\n        class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-quote wak-pad-top-lg wak-pad-bot-lg wak-theme-light has-texture wak-container\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\" data-texture=\"zebra-pale-1\"        >\n\n        \n        \n        <div class=\"wak-quote  wak-no-fatured-media\">\n                        \n        <div class=\"wak-quote-container\">\n\n               \n\n\n                        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-extra-large-text wak-quote-container-copy\" >I believe that Virunga is changing the situation for us in the eastern Congo, so I am proud to be a part of the team.

We were trekking in dense forest around the volcanoes and stumbled upon a herd of them. I had always heard they could be aggressive, so just being in their presence made my heart race. Then, out of nowhere, one of the males charged us. I was terrified. We all ran, but he chased us anyways. Eventually, we turned around and held our ground, which spooked him and he thankfully backed down. I was so scared during the experience that I\u2019ll remember it always.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-555492\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-spacer wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light mobile-space-100 tablet-space-100 desktop-space-120\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\">\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-954911\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-wysiwyg wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light wak-content-layout-default\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\">\n    \n    <div class=\"wak-copy wak-copy-content-wysiwyg-container wak-body-standard-text\" ><h2 class=\"bottom-padding\">Conservation at the Forefront of Virunga National Park<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Virunga is home to 300 individual mountain gorillas. How do you and your colleagues protect them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Virunga rangers track the gorilla populations every day and have patrol posts located around the gorilla sector. We work with the community to identify beneficial projects that give the local population incentive to protect the park and gorillas. Also, revenue from tourism goes back to help support gorilla conservation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of the biggest challenges you have faced with the gorillas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Human encroachment on the park is a big challenge for Virunga. High population density pushes villages very close to the park boundaries. Gorillas are typically docile animals who spend most of their day eating and sleeping in the forest; however, they occasionally leave the forest and end up in farmers\u2019 fields. It can cause tension with the population, but we recently installed an electric fence that reduces incidents like that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apart from mountain gorillas, are there any other wildlife species in Virunga that need your special attention?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Virunga National Park is the most biologically diverse protected area on the African continent. Hundreds of different animal species call Virunga home and are in need of protection. Not many people realise it, but we also have vulnerable populations of two other Great Ape taxa \u2013 the eastern chimpanzee and the eastern lowland gorilla. The forest and savanna buffalo, forest and savanna elephant, hippopotamus, lion, and leopard are also important animals in need of protection in the park. Personally, I love all of Virunga\u2019s animals except baboons!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does the future hold for wildlife conservation in Virunga?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The future of conservation in Virunga is bright. We are on the right path to making a lasting impact in the region by working together with the communities to conserve the park. If the community is on board with our initiatives, the park is more likely to be preserved for generations to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-416983\"\n
