Poaching in Lubiriha

The threat of increasing population moving inside the Park limits in Lubiriha has obliged us to deploy several patrols of the Advance Force during the last two months.
Poachers are setting up fires in big open spaces, so new grass can grow, attrackting antilopes and other animals to come and feed. They set up the traps thus making it an easy target for them to catch their victims.
Here with the poachers we caught, taking them into custody in Mutsora.
Patrolling intensifies in Lubiriha
Category: Out on Patrol, Virunga National Park | Date: Oct 27 2007 | By: admin
Lubiriha is our patrol post north of Ishango, very close to the border with Uganda. Patrols have been reinforced in the area during the last two months.
Villagers have been moving into the park at fast speed, building houses, breeding animals and cultivating all sorts of crops.
During many of our patrols, several warnings have been given to the local villagers to move their belongings from inside the park.
These pictures are from last week when Troop I of the Advance Force returned to Mutsora after burning their houses.
We managed to catch the chief of the village who gave away fake certificates of land property to the villagers. He is now in captivity in Mutsora.
