Tuver Wundi, a television reporter and environmental activist from Goma, the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been in hiding since July. That's when members of the M-23 rebel movement threatened to kill him for publically denouncing their occupation of Virguna National Park.
In an online article, Wundi, who coordinates a network of environmental reporters, had said that M-23's consistent firing of weapons put the lives of gorillas at risk. In response, M-23 posted a death threat on their website that compelled Wundi to flee his hometown. The journalist is now living in Kinshasa – far from his family – until the situation changes.
