Humans versus animals in a conflict zone

I had a great visit to Virunga National Park to see the baby mountain gorillas rescued and rehomed in a new enclosure in the park. But protecting the animals is really controversial in North Kivu where people want access to the land for farming, fire wood and hunting. The park is doing its best to win over hearts and minds.
