lpv:spoken text	"I supported this resolution due to the fact that despite its status as protected wilderness, the park has been under threat for decades by armed groups that engage in poaching, deforestation and other forms of unsustainable and illegal resource exploitation. As a result, Virunga has been included on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. Mass poverty, a weak state, poor governance and regional insecurity would have severe socially and environmentally destabilising effects. According to the 2013 WWF report entitled ‘The economic value of Virunga Park’, the Virunga National Park currently has an annual economic value of USD 48.9 million. In a stable situation, the park could contribute to growth in the economy and in tourism, and could have a value of USD 1 billion per year and create 45 000 jobs."@en1
