The Okapi Reserve

Category: Epulu, Ranger Patrols | Date: Nov 26 2007 | By: admin

As I expressed in my previous blog , intelligence remains a backbone for conservation in the World. My reason to insist for it is that once you are informed about an illegal activity in a protected area, you decide accordingly, and the result MUST BE positive.

The management was informed about an illegal reinstallation of some miners inside the Reserve , and deployed a section of 4 Rangers who spent 6 days walking and arrested 10 miners . They were conducted at headquarter for judgment.

Illegal exploitation of gold , diamond in the reserve is a threat for Managing, as the Reserve is an inhabitant,….

In this moment, the management decides to create some temporary base where rangers will be shifting, as you know we approch Christmas holliday,people must desturb nature in different forms.

we need your support for purchasing some field equipment for our dedicated rangers especially camping mastress which costs US $ 5 each.We have already 16, but we need 50 of them.
