Yon reyinyon yon sèl jou nan Kigali nan Mèkredi 17 jen te dedye a konsèvasyon nan goril mòn ki an danje, nan ki mwens pase 800 kounye a siviv nan rejyon an fwontyè montay nan Rwanda, Uganda, ak DR Kongo a. Yon gwo kantite konsèvasyonis ak gwoup ki enterese nan endistri touris la ak sosyete an jeneral reyini nan Kigali yè pou diskite sou yon plan wout anba tèm, "Defi ak Opòtinite pou Konsèvasyon Goril nan Gwo Mas Virunga."
Nasyonzini te deklare sa a kòm "Ane Goril la," epi li espere ke anpil aktivite nan Rwanda - tankou akimilasyon nan yon seri fèstivite ki dire yon semèn, reyinyon, ak seminè nan direksyon "Kwita Izina" nan Samdi - pral ede konsantre sou viv ansanm dirab nan konsèvasyon ak itilizasyon ekonomik nan resous bèt sovaj sa a, pou ki Rwanda te vin konnen atravè mond lan. Kòm peyi a te leve soti nan sann jenosid 1994 la 15 ane de sa, touris dirab te nan premye plan nan aktivite ekonomik, ak devlopman ak sektè touris kounye a klase segondè pami lòt sektè prensipal yo.
Sa a se te dezyèm reyinyon konferans konsa ki te fèt ansanm ak "Kwita Izina," li menm kounye a nan senkyèm ane li, ki pral, dapre sous RDB/ORTPN, vin tounen yon evènman anyèl, kòm rezilta yo ak rekòmandasyon nan reyinyon an ta. dwe absòbe nan desizyon politik yo epi ajoute mezi konsèvasyon ORTPN pran alavni. Rosette Rugamba, ki se chèf ORTPN ak Direktè Jeneral Adjwen Konsèy Devlopman Rwanda, ki te pale tou nan evènman an, te reyafime ke pandan ke goril tracking toujou te fè gwo aktivite vizitè touris nan peyi a, efò yo te sou pye pou divèsifye pwodwi touris yo ofri yo. , an patikilye Nyungwe National Park ki te kòmanse resevwa plis vizitè kòm yon rezilta siplemantè aktivite maketing sipò. Seremoni prensipal nonmen pou ti bebe goril ki fèk fèt yo pral fèt samdi toupre Volcanoes National Park, oswa "Parc de Volcanoes", paske Rwanda se yon peyi kote tou de angle ak franse se lang komen, san konte prensipal "kinyarwanda".
KISA POU RETIRE NAN ATIK SA A:
- The United Nations has declared this as the “Year of the Gorilla,” and it is hoped that the many activities in Rwanda – like the culmination of a week-long series of festivities, meetings, and seminars towards “Kwita Izina” on Saturday – will help to focus on sustainable coexistence of conservation and economic utilization of this wildlife resource, for which Rwanda has become known across the world.
- Rosette Rugamba, head of ORTPN and deputy CEO of the Rwanda Development Board, who also spoke at the event, reaffirmed that while gorilla tracking still made up the bulk of tourist visitor activities in the country, efforts were underway to diversify the tourism products on offer, in particular the Nyungwe National Park which has started to receive more visitors as a result of extra supporting marketing activities.
- This was the second such conference meeting of its kind to be held alongside “Kwita Izina,” itself now in its fifth year, which will, according to RDB/ORTPN sources, become an annual event, as the findings and recommendations of the meeting would be absorbed into policy decisions and added conservations measures taken by ORTPN in the future.
