There
are a range of conservation strategies ranging from ecological,
economical to cultural approach. All these have been exercised in
different protected areas and have had both positive and negative
implications. But of recent, the cultural approach has proved to be more
effective and sustainable. Volcanoes National Park also referred to as
Parc Nationale des Volcanoes in French is one of Rwanda’s prime safari
destinations usually encountered on Rwanda safari. Volcanoes is an
enjoinment of the Virunga protected area and thus a home of mountain gorillas which makes it famous for gorilla trekking in Rwanda. It provides a strong core and acts as a selling preposition for wildlife safaris or chimpanzee trekking safaris
in the adjacent Akagera and far most Nyungwe national parks
respectively. This makes it to be added on the list of travellers while
planning their safaris to Rwanda.
Volcanoes National Park is quick to realize the strength of this new
management approach. It has recruited the former poachers and trained
them to take up positions in the thriving eco-tourism trade. This is to
be achieved by allocating a portion of the tourist fees paid for gorilla
trekking to community projects so as to assist the former poachers
identify alternative sources of livelihood that are in good terms with
the environment. This will in turn ensure species survival thus
sustaining safaris in Rwanda or position its self in the market as a
marketing technique only to end up increasing safaris to Rwanda.Rwanda safaris/Rwanda safari News
