Endangered Species In a Small landlocked Country |

Rwanda a small landlocked country in the heart of Africa. In Rwanda there are mainly three protected areas, which are established as national parks. The first is Volcano/Birunga National Park which is a home to the estimated 1/3 worldwide Mountain Gorilla Population. Secondly we have Akagera national park which contain typical Savannah animals including Giraffe and Elephants. And lastly is Nyungwe National Park which contain variety number of Monkey species including Chimpanzees... and Variety Birds Species.
Currently local Government has implemented different policies and regulations to protect endangered animals. including cultivation of forests and trees, building fences on the boundaries of national parks, and so on. There is also punishments for anyone who can violate those policies like livestock grazing in unauthorized areas, bush fires and unauthorized mining. Although those policies have been established and enforced, there still endangered species specifically in Volcano National Park which intersect three countries Rwanda, DRC and Uganda. Where some mountain Gorillas are being kidnapped and others assassinated due to political issues in that zone. This require effort on all parties, not only Rwanda. There should be an agreement between three countries on how they can secure that area. Otherwise, this will result into disappearance of mountain Gorillas.

Hi, Eric! Thank you for your report on Rwanda's policies for protecting endangered animals. Your report was very well-written and easy to understand, explaining the currently existing regulations in Rwanda and the regulations that are yet to be established. :) I was happy to hear that Rwanda had already taken various aspects into view, and has implemented several regulations to protect endangered species. I hope that the three countries can soon reach an agreement as to how to regulate the boundary region and protect the wild gorillas living there. Great work!

Hi, Ishimwe! I hope those three countries to get an agreement on the way of protecting those beautiful environments and endangered species living in that areas. I really hope to see the same picture later of course with various species. Governments should notice their preciousness to citizens and strongly regulate them to ban their thoughtless, careless behaviors. Thanks for your report!

Protected areas like national parks plays a vital role in conservation and protection of biodiversity. Mountain Gorillas are endangered species. So local government as well as international attention should be given to conserve this endangered species.

That's right.. there should be new initiatives to solve those political issues for mountain gorillas' good.
