South Sudan plans to join regional initiative to protect wildlife

JUBA (24 Mar.)

Wildlife authorities in South Sudan said they plan to join the Horn of
Africa Regional Environmental Centre and network to enhance protection of
wildlife in the country.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Thursday, South Sudan’s wildlife ministry
spokesperson said the government is planning to enact laws that will
prevent poaching and smuggling of wildlife within the region.

Khamis Adiang Deng further said as a first step, South Sudan has already
joined the international UK-based Animal Protection Initiative.“We are
planning to join the Horn of Africa Wildlife Network and this will enable
us to exchange information and to prevent the random poaching of wildlife,”
Adiang.“Joining these charters will help us enact some laws on how to
protect our wildlife. We have already burnt a number of elephant tusks here
in Juba and we will ensure that poaching will not happen again,” he added.

South Sudan has about five national parks including, Bandingilo, Boma,
Nimule, Southern and Shambe. These parks are home to the large herds of
elephants, giraffes, lions and many others.
