Rwanda Eco-Tourism and Tourism Sector

Rwanda's tourism earnings are only just starting to climb, with the country aggressively promoting eco-tourism using the endangered mountain gorilla as a unique selling point. ABN's Larry Madowo reports.

Rwanda: Back to the Garden

Visit the IUCN website here:
Rwanda is one of the most naturally beautiful places on earth -- it's home to some amazing biodiversity, and its ecosystems are important far beyond its boundaries. This beauty is also functional: Rwanda's biodiversity, water and soil fertility nourish the wildlife and the people living in the area, support tea and coffee plantations and its hydrological importance spreads around the whole continent. But unsustainable farming has largely degraded the landscape, causing frequent landslides and floods and impoverishing the land and the people living in the area. An ambitious initiative aims to restore the country and reduce poverty in the region by actively improving the environment.
The video was produced by John D. Liu, Senior Research Fellow at IUCN and Director of the Environmental Education Media Project.

Rwanda Village: Tribal Warrior Dance

For the last 5 years, Rwanda Eco-Tours has been working directly with the communities and indirectly through research on community-wildlife conflicts, community development and searching for eco-solutions to problems communities and park face to reduce the over-aching problems facing both community and park conservation: POVERTY AND POACHING.
We wanted to learn more about the local people and their culture, traditional dances, have a taste of local food, beers, hear an learn more from the traditional healer, the medicine man, drumming, volunteering etc.

Rwanda Eco-Tours invested directly US$ 20.000 in the developmen

This project has been the most rewarding to see poachers who previously depended on poaching and bush meat now embrace conservation, talk about it and educate other community members on the goodness of conservation, and thereby turn into entrepreneurs by benefiting from their culture through operating sustainable tourism initiatives based on their culture is the most rewarding thing. It doesnt only empower community to find solutions, and not only that but solutions that work and working for them is great. in 2008, the cultural village brought in to the village US$10.000 of which 40% went to salaries and 60% went to community projects on a family basis and community level.

Through My Eyes Video

Through My Eyes follows the youth of Rwanda today, who use the arts to help move the country forward ten years after the genocide. By expressing themselves through dance, poetry, music and painting, the teens, many of whom lost parents and family members during the conflict, are able to deal with the emotional and physical trauma they endured.

The film documents how through organizations and group activities, these creative talents not only honor those that perished but also confront new problems affecting the country such as poverty and AIDS. By focusing on what they can accomplish by working together in creative endeavors, the youth of Rwanda prove that art can not only benefit those around them but ensure future generations have a brighter future.
