UPDATE OF ROAD PATROL

Category: Ranger Patrols | Date: Jan 25 2008 | By: admin

Rangers are always very good briefed before deploying in the field , with some specific patrol strategies such establishment of observation point in the village with a high concentration of population , questionnaire to drivers ( passengers ).Some checkpoints especially in Epulu , Zungukula patrol post (East Entry), Molokay Patrol Post ( Center ) and Adusa ( West ) were created for registering all population movement in the Reserve; and writing down their provenance, destination, number of passengers,…. these methods help the management to monitor the illegal movement in the Reserve. It is not easy, but we are doing the necessary for minimizing the negative impact on fauna and flora.

In case of emergency, the ICCN jeep intervenes with additional rangers

Truck crossing the Reserve from Beni

Illegal traffic of forest products (hiding in truck)

Bush meat discovers in truck

People carrying on bicycles more than 150kgs

The pression is really weighting on managers since the road is fixed. Otherwise we believe with your technical or financial support we shall win the game.

Exactly we do need a monthly budget of US $ 80, 00 for purchasing 1 carton of sardine and biscuit for feeding rangers during patrols.
