Posted on | January 2, 2010 | Comments Off
The government of Congo has stated that a volcano near Virunga National Park has erupted. The director of the park says, “it is of great concern.” Though the area is not heavily populated with humans, the park is home to endangered animal species.
Recently, the Philippines had an eruption watch and evacuation around the Mayon Volcano. Though the alert level has been lowered, there is still a possibility of an eruption.
Environment concerns over the effects of volcanoes combined with human induced climate change are elevated.
