It isn’t AI-generated; it’s real, & it’s happening in the #DRCongo. These children are not soldiers—they’re innocent victims of a war driven by greed. Powerful forces are exploiting the land, destroying the environment, and plundering natural resources that do not belong 2 them.

In the war-torn #DRCongo, we faced unimaginable challenges rescuing two chimpanzees. While one tragically passed away, we successfully saved the other—a young male who will now find sanctuary. This mission shows the power of perseverance, unity, and compassion ICCN Conserv Congo

Honored to speak at the FRA/GI TOC Conference on Environmental Crime in Paris. 🌍 In the DRC, civil society & journalists are key to fighting wildlife trafficking, but they face serious risks. Let’s ensure funding reaches local CSOs & create safe spaces for activists. Adams Cassinga

BREAKING: 38kg of elephant ivory seized in Kolwezi. 3 traffickers arrested in joint op by Conserv Congoongo, @PoliceRDC, ICCN & the Ministry of Environment. Suspects linked to a cross-border network with ties to Zambia & Southern Africa. ICCN @ConservC US Dept of State INL WCP Zambia

URGENT: Over 50 cattle found dead in Kilungutwe, South Kivu. Cause unknown. Risk of anthrax outbreak — similar deaths already seen in Virunga Park. Do NOT consume meat from dead animals. We call on partners to assist with emergency response. #DRC #Anthrax #Zoonosis

This #EarthDay2025, we celebrate 100 years of #Virunga, Africa’s oldest national park. A century of resilience, biodiversity & courage. Protecting Virunga is protecting our planet. Adams Cassinga ⁦Virunga National Park⁩ #Virunga100 #OurPowerOurPlanet #DRCConservation ⁦ICCN⁩

Conservation is no longer monolithic. It must include people, dignity & opportunity. In the heart of Congo, cocoa rots in homes while kids who've never seen chocolate live among it. True #biodiversity means justice—for nature and people.

Yesterday in Kisangani, we celebrated #BiodiversityDay with tree planting & school outreach. Each tree = hope for our ecosystems. Each student = a future guardian of nature. Conservation must be inclusive, practical & rooted in community. #ConservCongo #ActForNature

Throwing a plastic bottle in the river is also an environmental crime. Just like poaching, it kills — silently. Watch as Eric Casinga cleans the riverbanks of the Congo river, recovering mountains of platic trash. facebook.com/share/v/12Kf5y…

🎭135 youth & elders trained 🏫200+ students sensitized 🌿Hygiene kits in schools 🧠Health workers empowered From May 3–21, MAISHA NA MAZINGIRA fought Mpox through ART & AWARENESS in Miti-Murhesa, South Kivu 🇨🇩. 🙏 Thanks to Bavarian Nordic & community partners!

Wildlife crime = Organized crime. A Congolese diplomat + 2 others caught with 206kg of cocaine in Bulgaria en route to Turkey. Same routes used for ivory, pangolins, drugs , guns & humans. #DRC is a rising hub of transnational crime. We must connect the dots.

We mourn the tragic loss of Mr. Claude Nguo & Mr. Daniel Kwamire, who died in service to nature after a Bat Hawk plane crash in Virunga. True heroes of conservation. Their absence leaves a painful void in the protection of the Congo Basin. 🌿Rest in power. Virunga National Park ICCN

Yesterday, Conserv Congo & ICCN held a strategic meeting to strengthen our partnership in protecting DRC’s biodiversity. A joint Task Force to fight wildlife trafficking was launched, reaffirming our commitment to communities, conservation, and collaboration. Adams Cassinga

L’équipe de Conserv Congo a échangé avec le Directeur général de l’ICCN Yves MILAN NGANGAY sur les modalités d’intensification du partenariat entre les deux structures. Une conversation fructueuse qui ouvre la voie à des actions stratégiques et opérationnelles pour (1/2) U.S. Embassy Kinshasa

3 lion cubs from RSA, seized in DRC en route to Brazzaville & beyond. Bought for $5K, offered at $10K, traffickers wanted $50K. Money is the name of the game! Operation by ICCN & Conserv Congo Adams Cassinga . Congo is fighting back!

On #WorldLionDay, we honor lions not just in words—but through action. This week, 3 lion cubs were rescued from traffickers in #DRC thanks to a joint operation led by ICCN & Conserv Congo. Wildlife crime knows no borders. Neither should our response! Adams Cassinga BigCats

Ivory is not art. It’s not tradition. It’s a life stolen! Happy elephant day!
