Virunga National Park in Africa is known for its rich biodiversity. It is often called the "park of fire and ice" due to its diverse landscapes, such as the Rwenzori peaks, savannas, and volcanic plains. Despite its UNESCO World Heritage status, the park faces ongoing threats from conflict, poaching, illegal activities, and natural disasters.  Image Source: BBC
