In December 2020, we start a new professional and personal challenge. We are indeed moving to the remote Nkuba conservation area, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to study and protect its unique biodiversity for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. Living in the heart of the wilderness is a dream of ours, and we are excited to share with you our daily life in the rainforest as well as our scientific discoveries! So if you want to know what it’s like to be a conservation biologist (or a couple of them) in the Congolese rainforest, please stay in touch by liking the blog, our Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram account!
