Voix du Paysan to train and inform citizens: a commitment to social and climate justice.
Since 2016, Vivianne has dedicated her life to protecting Virunga National Park, one of Africa’s most precious ecological treasures. What she loves most about her job is the noble mission of preserving fragile ecosystems and the wildlife that inhabit them. Every day, she stands guard with courage and determination to ensure this exceptional nature continues to survive despite numerous human threats.
For Vivianne, the presence of women in ranger teams is not only a powerful symbol, but also a real asset in the conservation fight. Their involvement strengthens field operations and shows that biodiversity protection is an inclusive mission. Being a ranger is no longer a role reserved for men: women have their rightful place in this vital struggle for our planet.
By embracing this role with pride, Vivianne becomes a source of inspiration for both women and men. Her commitment reflects a future where environmental protection relies on diversity, equality, and a passion to serve a cause greater than oneself. She is the voice of a new generation of rangers, determined to protect nature — today and for generations to come.
