🐘 Ever wondered how elephants contribute to a healthier planet? 🌍
Since a big elephant herd returned to @gorillacd, they have been transforming the landscape back to a grassland savanna at an unexpected speed, allowing the return of other wildlife species.

C'est avec honneur et fierté qu'on a fait ligue avec notre client et partenaire @gorillacd ~ (@EasternCongo) pour soutenir #SOSGOMA via @Gomactif. Une initiative locale qui a soutenu les sinistrés de l'eruption de Nyiragongo.
Nous soutenons la communication du collectif. #Congo
#SOSGOMA: Grace au courage des bénévoles de GOMA Actif, et des autres organisations membres du collectif - (@luchaRDC, @AmaniFestival, @mnkfcreatives, @KoPAX_Officiel & co), nous avons réussi à apporter notre assistances aux populations qui en avaient le plus besoin. #Congo

@BenAffleck and @EasternCongo understood that commodities like coffee and cacao played a key role in the #Virunga region.
The Congolese farmers that they supported tripled their incomes while farming in a more #sustainable way.
