Following an increase in poaching problems in Tanzania recently, United States of America has assured Tanzania of its full support on war against poaching.......
“US has a responsibility of fostering cordial relationship with Tanzania so as to ensure sustainability of natural resources in the country,” said Secretary Hayes........
Ambassador Kagasheki said that the requested support from US includes technical assistance by providing some expertise on the suppliers of best intelligence surveillance devices and skills as well as coming up with new approaches and strategies to tackle the existing organized poaching crimes.............
Minister Kagasheki and his delegation had earlier visited and held discussions with the officials from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service; Council on Environmental
Quality from the Department of Environment; National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations whereby the threat of poaching as an organized crime was discussed as a threat to conservation sector in the country and the way forward was reached for consensus.

Bwana BundukiThis sounds on the surface as very good news. I wonder what form and what level of involvement it will actually take?

prof242Mambatz,
If you provide the hunting while I am there, I'll bring my saddle, bridle, and rope. YOU, though, get to do the branding.

I'm getting a little too old for that.
