Saving Wildlife: Return to Rwanda – EXTENDED EDITION
SUMMARY: Rwanda is a remarkable conservation success story, with efforts focused on protecting wildlife, such as mountain gorillas and gray crowned cranes. The Houston Zoo partners with local organizations like the Rwanda Wildlife Conservation Association (RWCA) and Gorilla Doctors to improve veterinary care, educate communities, and enhance conservation strategies. Recent initiatives have introduced portable veterinary clinics and extensive training in wildlife healthcare. The Conservation Heritage program promotes sustainable practices among youth, emphasizing conservation’s importance. Overall, collaboration among dedicated individuals and organizations has led to significant wildlife population recovery, fostering hope for future conservation in Rwanda, enhancing local livelihoods, and ensuring environmental sustainability.
KPRC 2 and the Houston Zoo journey to Rwanda to see remarkable conservation efforts in action. The work is saving animals and ensuring people can thrive as well. From gorillas, to zebras, to cranes, this is a story of people coming together to make a positive impact on the world.
Nine years after KPRC’s first trip to Rwanda with the Houston Zoo, we go back to check on the progress being made by the Zoo’s conservation partners in Rwanda, as well as to see how members of the Houston Zoo veterinary team helped set up a new wildlife clinic in the country.
