The Congo Diaries: A Mission to Re-Wild the World and How You Can Help
Join Mark Vins of Brave Wilderness and His Courageous Environmental Conservation Expedition to Save Africa's Virunga National Park.
Known as one of the rainforest "lungs of the Earth". Virunga National Park is on the verge of complete devastation. Now environmental conservationist Mark Vins, CEO and Co-Founder of Brave Wilderness, a Youtube channel with over 19 million subscribers, is on a quest to make a difference in the fight to save our planet.
The world's second largest rainforest is in trouble. In the heart of the Congo forest lies Africa's oldest environmental conservation and UNESCO World Heritage site, Virunga National Park. It contains virgin rainforests, volcanoes, lakes, and savannah, all in a completely unique combination of natural habitats. Virunga is the home of many species of plants and animals and is located in the only region in the world that is a mountain gorilla habitat.

Explore the intersection between humankind, the environment, animals, and the fight against global climate change.
