A Congolese soldier and guard for Virunga National Park carries his weapon

A Congolese soldier and guard for Virunga National Park carries his weapon along the rim of the smouldering crater of Nyiragongo volcano near Goma in eastern Congo, August 30, 2010. Congo's army and park rangers are conducting joint operations to secure large swathes of Virunga Park, which has for more than a decade been home to various armed groups who rely on poaching and banditry to survive while using the park's wild terrain to hide during Congo's civil conflict.
