RANGERS from around the world, including 17 African countries, will attend the third world congress of the International Ranger Federation in the Kruger National Park next week. It will be the first time the congress is held in Africa and the aim is to focus attention on wildlife conservation on the continent in particular, as well as in other Third World countries. The International Federation of Animal Welfare has sponsored 35 African rangers from Egypt to Zimbabwe at a cost of almost R400 000 to attend the congress. The congress will address the ranger and area integrity, the community and eco-tourism or economics. About 300 delegates are expected to attend the congress, which starts this weekend. – African Eye News Service
