Virunga bags a Peabody Award

Virunga continues its awards haul at the 74th Peabody Awards in New York City. Apart from being a wonderful acknowledgment of the filmmakers’ achievements, this prestigious honour helps to keep the spotlight on Virunga National Park and the work its rangers continue to do in safeguarding the park’s future.

“An unusual but successful melding of investigative journalism and nature filmmaking, “Virunga” documents the work of courageous park rangers in the Congo to protect Africa’s mountain gorillas from war, poaching and industrial expansion.” Peabody Awards 2015
