Congo Rangers Elite Force moves in to protect the hippos…

Category: Crises, Elephants, General, Hippos | Date: Feb 11 2007 | By: admin

Today a group of 43 elite Congo Rangers have gone to Ishango, on the northern shores of Lake Edward. This is about 15-20km east from Muramba, and home to hippos, elephants and buffalo. The Rangers are going to protect the area from a potential Mai Mai attack.

At present the situation is still unclear and we are trying to obtain additional details regarding the Mai Mai’s intentions. But based on precedent and last year’s hippo massacre we fear the worst. The elite Rangers will be doing their utmost to protect the wildlife of Virunga… More to come later but I just wanted to let you all know this.
