Military Camp to be illlegally extended in Virunga
Category: Virunga National Park | Date: May 07 2007 | By: admin
Some terrible news for the park.
There is already a small military camp illegally within the park, but we have just found out that this will be extended to house 4,000 men and maybe their families too.
You can read more about it on Rob’s blog here.
It is going to have a major impact on the park and there are still many questions that need to be answered, for example why are the Dutch Government wanting to illegally fund a camp inside a park?
I will keep you posted when we receive more information.

Does anyone know anymore about this? Do you know how much longer, with this extension, that they plan to have the camp there?
