Healing Wishes For Conservationist Hero Emmanuel de Merode The thoughts and best wishes of all of us at Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are now with Emmanuel de Merode, Chief Warden at Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Emmanuel, the husband of Sea Shepherd Advisory Board Member and Paleontologist Dr. Louise Leakey, was shot during an ambush on Tuesday within the park. He remains in stable condition, and we are hopeful that this remarkably strong individual will make a speedy and complete recovery. Emmanuel is an inspiration to us all, with his uncompromising commitment to conservation and the protection of the Virunga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and all of the species that call it home. Despite the constant threat of violence from poachers and others who would harm this important ecosystem, he has risked his own life to protect wildlife and their habitat.
