UNESCO comes through for Virunga’s Advance Force!

Category: Logistics | Date: Oct 02 2006 | By: admin

UNESCO, who has been following with absolute horror the decimation of the park’s wildlife populations, has just agreed to fund the purchase of a new lorry for the Advance Force to help put a stop to the current poaching epidemic that is taking hold in the park like a virus.

At the moment the Advance Force can’t move around the park fast enough or in sufficient numbers to be really effective as a rapid reaction anti-poaching unit. All this will change once the lorry arrives. It is being shipped over from Van Vliet Trucks in Holland and we expect it to arrive in the park within the next six weeks! Many thanks to UNESCO and please keep the support coming!!

Is this bullet proof?

Let’s hope so!

Sorry to inform you, but it’s not bullet proof in any way.
However, the Scania SBA111 is very easy to drive and has excellent mobility, you won’t be disappointed.
