The Congolese Wildlife Authority (Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature, ICCN) was conceived to protect Virunga National Park, which was created in 1925 and known as Albert Park. ICCN’s scope has subsequently expanded to include all of DR Congo’s protected areas and its duties now include:
- Management and conservation of DRC’s biodiversity in protected areas
- Promotion of scientific research
- Development of eco-tourism within the framework of conservation
- Development of populations living around protected areas
ICCN is currently led by Director Cosma Wilungula Balongelwa. Emmanuel de Merode is Chief Warden of Virunga National Park.
