Promoting Education and Empowerment in Africa with Artemis Africa

The aim of the program is to combat deforestation and poaching in the Congo Basin and reduce tensions between local populations, refugees and indigenous peoples living close to the habitat of the Grauer Gorillas, linked to the cutting and use of firewood and charcoal, by setting up a production chain for the balls of clay and improved energy-efficient stoves.

Our work in the field is helping to preserve the endangered forests of the Congo Basin by promoting more environmentally-friendly beekeeping practices. The initiative aims to ensure the survival of pollinators and generate significant income to limit pressure on gorilla habitat, while strengthening the resilience of Congolese beekeepers in the face of climate change and promoting the empowerment and integration of women through the field-school approach to producers.

Our visitors are encouraged to cycle and opt for several trekking options to visit the deep Congo at their own pace, with its active volcanoes or unspoilt forests, populated by endemic species such as the bonobo, okapi, congo peacock, grauer's gorilla and picturesque villages on the banks of the majestic Congo River! Our "Visit Congo" brand also offers visitors the chance to take part in projects that immerse them in the local life of indigenous peoples, encouraging reforestation, the promotion of local culture and education.
