Three friends are just now heading out to visit the #UNESCO #WorldHeritage #ComoeNationalPark area in #IvoryCoast for an awareness and info campaign to bolster its protection within the local communities around.

Their not-for-profit foundation Deutsche Stiftung für den Comoé Nationalpark #DSCN / Fondation Allemande pour le Parc National de la #Comoé #FAPNAC https://www.comoe-stiftung.org is organizing workshops and awarding scholarships to talented local children and students to enable them staying in school/uni.

The park is renowned for its great plant and animal #Biodiversity.

Donations are very much welcomed by Prof. Judith Korb (currently researching at University #Freiburg, https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Judith-Korb) and her team from DSCN/FAPNAC.
