The future of globally important wildlife – including endangered chimpanzees and pangolins – looks a little brighter after over 17,000 hectares of severely threatened forest habitat in an ecologically unique region of South Sudan were granted formal protection.
The regazettement of Bangangai Game Reserve will ensure that this unhailed haven of biodiversity is brought under more effective management at what is a crucial juncture for the country’s impressive but imperilled natural wonders.
A decade has elapsed since Fauna & Flora International (FFI) accepted an invitation to help kick-start conservation in the newly declared Republic of South Sudan. Given our proven track record of operating in crisis and conflict zones, we were never likely to decline such an opportunity.
Since then, the two outlets have campaigned to support the work of Space for Giants in tackling poaching and wildlife crime, raising over £300,000, and has brought together leading conservation organisations to issue a joint statement at the G20 in Riyadh.
It has also published pieces on endangered giraffes, elephants, rhinos and pangolins, as well as led an investigation into the global financial institutions that are invested in the illegal wildlife trade. It has had endorsements from renowned conservationists including John Scanlon and cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
Steven Galster, co-founder of Freeland, said: “Freeland has joined The Independent s Stop IWT campaign because after decades of chasing wildlife criminals, we realize that we need help ringing the alarm bell about how ugly and dangerous this trade is for all of us. .
