Why Is Corneille Ewango Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Corneille E.N. Ewango is a Congolese environmentalist, and was responsible for the Okapi Faunal Reserve's botany program in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 1996 to 2003. He was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2005 for his efforts to protect the Okapi Wildlife Reserve in the Ituri Rainforest during the Congo Civil War. The reserve is home to the Mbuti people, and houses animals such as okapis , elephants and 13 primate species. Ewango has uncovered 270 species of lianas and 600 tree species in the area.
