ABUBUWAN DA ZA KU GUDU DAGA WANNAN LABARI:
- The United Nations has declared this as the “Year of the Gorilla,” and it is hoped that the many activities in Rwanda – like the culmination of a week-long series of festivities, meetings, and seminars towards “Kwita Izina” on Saturday – will help to focus on sustainable coexistence of conservation and economic utilization of this wildlife resource, for which Rwanda has become known across the world.
- Rosette Rugamba, head of ORTPN and deputy CEO of the Rwanda Development Board, who also spoke at the event, reaffirmed that while gorilla tracking still made up the bulk of tourist visitor activities in the country, efforts were underway to diversify the tourism products on offer, in particular the Nyungwe National Park which has started to receive more visitors as a result of extra supporting marketing activities.
- This was the second such conference meeting of its kind to be held alongside “Kwita Izina,” itself now in its fifth year, which will, according to RDB/ORTPN sources, become an annual event, as the findings and recommendations of the meeting would be absorbed into policy decisions and added conservations measures taken by ORTPN in the future.
