RWANDA-ENVIRONMENT-POACHING-TOURISM
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Stephanie AGLIETTI
Leonidas Barora (L), a former poacher simulates a traditional wedding ceremony for visiting tourists on September 3, 2014 at Kinigi, Northern Rwanda where illegal wildlife hunters have now formed an association that helps them find new incomes, keeping them out of the Volcanoes national park, home the critically endangered mountain gorillas. For four decades Leonidas Barora was a renowned hunter, tracking animals in the lush forests of Rwanda. Now he only fires arrows to impress tourists, and to help protect the wildlife. Hundreds of ex-poachers have been persuaded to put down their weapons and support efforts to protect endangered mountain gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park, where thick jungle hills are shrouded in mist.
