JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) — The South African government
is looking into the possibility of mining
coal in Kruger Park, one of Africa's
best-known and most-visited wild
game reserves. Conservationists claim
it would be another blow to Africa's
dwindling wildlife if that happens.
The government has given permis-
sion to the South African Iron and Steel
Industrial Corp., Ltd., a para-govern-
mental agency, to make 400 test bores
in the park, but it says there are no
plans “at present” for actual mining
in the game reserve, which is about the
size of New York state.
The conservationists call these plans
a threat to the park, established in 1898
as a means of controlling the killing of
wild animals by hunters. The park is a
shelter for hundreds of species of
African animals, from baboons to
zebras; a great variety of birds, and a
whole spectrum of flora and fauna. No
census of the animal population in the
park ever was taken but elephants are
Orsdol says that in addition about
10,000 animals have been killed by
Tanzanian soldiers who invaded
Uganda to overthrow Amin or by Amin
troops as they battled earlier this year.
In East African countries, such as
Kenya and Tanzania, poachers remain
the biggest threat to wild game, des-
pite bans on hunting. The Worldlife
Fund estimates that Kenya’s black
rhino population has dwindled from
20,000 a decade ago to just 2,000. The
tusk of the rhino, valued as an
aphrodisiac when ground into powder,
fetches up to $4,000 a kilo (2.2 pounds)
in some regions of the Middle East and
Asia.
