Hippo’s Bones
Category: My Rangers, Virunga National Park | Date: Feb 04 2008 | By: admin
During the Advance Force’s training with Major M’Poka, we spent the last week of the 3 months session going out on patrol in Ishango, practicing the learned techniques.
And doing data collection for ICCN flora and fauna records:
During the Congolese liberation war in 1997, unfortunately many hippos were killed. You can still find the bones dispersed all around Mahiya area.

Elie, are the hippos killed by poachers shooting at them, or are they caught in snares first, and then killed. How do your patrols spot snares, the bush and grass are so high, must be very dangerous work.

I just stumbled on this site and I think you guys are doing a great duty on this planet and yet so few people know about it. This site should be featured.
