Congo Battles To Save Wildlife After Years Of War And Poaching
ISHANGO, CONGO - JULY 21: Former French paratrooper Ludovic Morel checks the AK-47 of a Congolese park ranger after arms training July 21, 2006 at Ishango in the Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. More than 500 rangers have been trained in military techniques in the last year to fight highly armed poachers who have ravished eastern Congo's wildlife population recently, taking advantage of the chaos caused by years of war. The center, run by the Frankfurt Zoological Society, has been funded by European, American and UN donors.
