The Return to Rwanda.
In November last year, 2025, I went to Rwanda in order to cycle and bird and meet amazing people, who are involved in Nature and Bird Conservation.
In the north of Rwanda, near the Gorilla National Park, is the city of Musanze and there I met with three wonderful young birders who work for an organisation called the Rugezi Ornithology Center.
Three incredible young people whose love for birds and with a passion for involving young people in birding and habitat restoration projects, it was a privilege to not only to meet these intrepid, wonderful three but also interview them.
The first person interviewed was Niyonkuru Josiane, pictured above; a fabulous sunshine woman who tells her story, tells of the work carried out by the Rugezi ornithology Centre and of birding in Rwanda. I hope you enjoy the video.
