Rwanda: Poachers burn park

Poachers have burned one-third of Rwanda's largest national park, hampering efforts to protect wildlife from dangers posed by the country's fast growing rural population. Akagera is a haven for wildlife in overcrowded Rwanda, where more than 8 million people are squeezed into just 10,160 square miles and deforestation is already widespread. The sprawling park in the east of the country is home to elephants, giraffes, zebra, and various species of antelope and monkey.
