Dr. Jean Felix KINANI Sangwa. DVM, Msc
I have been interested in conservation medicine for a long time and therefore deeply involved in taking care of the health of the famous mountain gorilla. Along the way through, a collaborative team spirit, I joined my effort to the law enforcement, the community health program, the Employer health program, the dog rabies Vaccination program around national to ensure the survival of our ecosystem.
I successfully completed hundreds of field interventions, necropsies, daily monitoring on mountain gorilla and captive gorilla graeuri, and other non-human primates, including chimpanzees and monkeys.
