SCI230 Introduction to Life Science
The topic I chose for my research paper in the Virunga National Park .
The National park is located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC ) which is located in Africa . The Virunga National Park date of
inscription is 1979 and was added to the endangered list in 1994 .
The Congo has serious economical and poverty issues . The issues that I
am concerned and interested in are the mountain gorillas that inhabit
the Virunga National Park .
The main issue I will be researching is the poaching of thousands of the
mountain gorillas that have been protected in the conservation . Since
the Rwandan war broke out in 1994 the state of the DRC has suffered .
According to one estimate published in 2003 the war may directly and
indirectly have caused the deaths of over 4 million people in DR Congo
since 1996 . As has become increasingly common in Africa the victims were
almost all civilians .
Because of the devastation left behind from the war the Congolese people
have had to resort to any means to survive , some have resorted to
poaching the mountain gorillas for profit .
My research paper will explore the conservation of the Virunga National
Park and the progress the park has accomplished thus far .
The Mining Company I work for is currently starting a major mining
project in the Congo . I have many colleagues and close friends that
have been asked to move to the Congo and start up the new mine . My
neighbor has lived there now for about 8 months and has told me many
stories of her adventures . All of these stories has peaked my interest
in learning more about the Congo .
