who we are
After more than 12 years saving mountain gorillas through daily veterinary care, field intervention and research in the Virunga Massif. Dr. Kinani took the initiative to start in 2015, another conservation organization, which he christened One Health Approach for Conservation (OHAC)- Gorilla Health.
Dr. Kinani spends most of his time travelling to various countries in East and Central Africa advising others on setting up an '' One Health program'' similar to the ones he devised in the Virunga massif. Dr. Kinani also visits various universities in the Great Lakes Region to train the next generation of wildlife veterinarian and conservationist.
