Description
It is a difficult balance between protecting natural areas and ensuring that the communities that live close to or in those areas are not affected by this "protection." In this episode, Gloria Mwenge from the Democratic Republic of the Congo discusses the importance of making protected areas available and accessible to locals before foreigners, reminding us that tourists are not only those who come from abroad. Gloria tells us about the challenges and difficulties, as well as the success stories of working as a coordinator at Uwezo Wetu, an NGO focused on Sustainable Tourism and Gender Equity in the Democratic Republic of Congo, explaining how inside chaos she sees hope.
