virunga - forestry
Dans le parc national des Virunga, il y a trois secteurs différents. Le premier secteur est les montagnes avec les gorilles vivent. Le deuxième secteur est le lac edouard qui est utile pour tous les animaux car il est une ressource d'eau. Dans le troisième secteur, il y a le volcan Nyamulagira qui renouvelle le sol pour les plantes.
Principal features
Virunga National park is divided into three main sectors: northern, central, and southern. The Rwenzori Mountains are located in the northern sector. At over 5000 meters (16,400 ft), the summits of the Rwenzoris are permanently snow-clapped. "Lake Edward, the Ishasha river valley, and the Rwindi plains are the dominant geographical features that define the park’s central sector. ("The park") The Lake Edward is a major lake in central Africa on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) just south of the equator.("Peter Saunary")In the southern section is Nyamulagira volcano, which is considered the most active in Africa. Nymulagira has erupted over 40 times since the late 1800s" ("The Park")

importance to balanced ecology
When the park was first found, the mountains were basically to protect the gorillas. They are an important role in the gorilla population because if they were to get disrupted it would kill the whole population. Later, the park was extended north to include the lake and volcano that are also an important role in the ecology. The volcano was important because it's home to many animals which include chimpanzee, monkeys, and bushbuck and also helps the soil. Many endangered species are found near the Lake Edward. The Lake Edward is used as water resources for all animals living there. If there was a problem with the water resources in the Lake Edward mostly all the animals would die.("Volcanoes")
