Apr 17, 2018 — Virunga National Park in Congo is about the size of California. It is a poacher's paradise. Backed and financed by Chinese middlemen they have grown into heavily armed militias.
More than 130 park rangers have been killed in the park since 1996.
While Under Armour and Safari Club International promotes the hunting of wild animals in Africa, these rangers risk their lives trying to protect them.
The more people in the West become aware of these situations and are able to connect the dots, the sooner all this barbarities will evolve to something better. Better laws, better ethics. Less killing.

Rangers killed at Congo gorilla park

Five rangers and their driver have been killed at the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a spokesman says. The group was killed in an ambush by suspected rebels operating in the park, Joel Wengamulay told the BBC. Virunga boasts Africa's most diverse wildlife habitat and is home to endangered mountain gorillas.
