September 5th - The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) launched the 110 km electrical fence on the western boundary of Akagera National Park to contain the human-wildlife conflict along the boundary. The Akagera Park counts many species including Buffaloes, Elephants, Hippos, Bushpigs and Baboons among others that were sometimes a threat to neighbouring communities before the construction of the fence. It is expected that reintroduction of animals such as lions will fast track to make the park more attractive as it will offer the big five. Fencing was one of the prerequisite to this reintroduction, AMC and RDB will now work on fast tracking this exercise.
