Merry Christmas 🎅🎅 Merry Christmas 🎅🎅
At Lusinga, our HQ in Upemba National Park, on the At Lusinga, our HQ in Upemba National Park, on the 25th of October 2022, the Deputy Director a.i. of ICCN Mr. Bernard MBATH NZEKANA and the Commander of the Corps for the Protection of National Parks and Natural Reserves (CorPPN), General Albert Massi Bamba, with their respective delegations, together with all the officers, rangers and the entire camp came together for the official appointment of Forgotten parks Foundation directress Tina Lain as the Park Manager, to continue promoting sustainable peace and social cohesion in and around the park and being a “mother” to all our rangers. She will be seconded by Aimé Balimbaki Liama as the deputy manager of Upemba National Park. This is the beginning of a new chapter for Upemba National Park. It called for celebration and boosted our hopes because all those parties needed for the rehabilitation of Upemba National Park came together in agreement to appoint what we believe to be a strong foundation to a great management. With the recent International Colloquium that took place and the new approaches that are to be implemented, we are hopeful the pillar of the rehabilitation is being set up for better results.
As mentioned from our previous post, Forgotten Par As mentioned from our previous post, Forgotten Parks participated in the International Colloquium that was organized by @iccnrdc and @uniluofficiel . Our Directress, Tina Lain, presented a new Problem-Solving approach to Wildlife Crime Control. This new approach is policing with a focus on problem solving through analysis and stakeholder involvement. It is impossible to arrest all poachers, and often they are released because of the lack of a functioning judicial system. Problem-based work is about better understanding the context in which wildlife crimes occur, the actors, their true motivations, and finding long-term solutions. Not only looking at the crimes but also understanding what drives some people to do what they do, for example because of poverty. Problem-based policing was developed to help police find ways to reduce crime without substantial additional resources. Her presentation therefore explained how the ideas and principles of PR can be adapted to wildlife protection problems. It should be noted that the most recent study of problem-oriented policing projects showed an average 34% reduction in crime and disorder. This approach will also help us to rebuild relationships of trust and mutual respect with the communities surrounding protected areas and lead rangers as the organization leading the development of this new groundbreaking approach.
Last week from the 19th to the 21st of October 20 Last week from the 19th to the 21st of October 2022, we took part in a «International Colloquium », organized by the University of Lubumbashi’s criminology school (@uniluofficiel ) and @iccnrdc (the Congolese institute for nature conservation) with the theme "Protection of wildlife in the DRC and the fight against wildlife crime. State of the art, challenges, and perspectives.” The general objective of the conference was to strengthen the efficiency of the battle against wildlife crime in the DRC by consolidating the existing system and identifying new strategies.
