Let me see... I´m easy going when I really want it: one day I´m really simpathy and anohter one I´m all day very quite and sometimes shy, I think it´s my defect but I think that I just need some "air" for myself; I´m very meticulous and a solidary person.

Main Ideas

Chad, a country in Africa is growing in popularity with foreign visitors althought the conflicts in Sudan.
A very important place for tourists that want to have new and different adventures are placed in the Zakouma National Park but you have to now that it`s not easy to get there. The most interesting and beautiful in that park are ELEPHANTS! they are in the whole park in massive herds but there`s a big problem that is killing them: poachers.
Poachers began to kill elephants because they want to sell their ivory so, in the park, as a solution and to protect the animals they have created an anti-poaching rangers to deal with the attackers. The killers are also killing giraffes just to make bracelets of giraffe tails.
It´s a really sad reality and anti-poachers are doing their best to win this real "war". Those killers don´t realize that if they kill the animals they will disappear very soon!

personal opinion

It´s a shame! poacher...don´t they realize that people and other tourists prefer to see a giraffe or an elephant in their real environment than to see them in just a bracelet or other kind of jewellery? they prefer 50 dollars more than to see a giraffe running or an elephant having a shower with his charming little elephants?
I think that those people do that kind of things because maybe they don´t value it because for them elephants and giraffes are just animals that they see very often, maybre like cows are for us!!! but it´s not a justification

Murder in Zakouma National Park

The Zakouma National Park, in Chad and is a beautiful place to visit. The most interesting here are ELEPHANTS and GIRAFFES they are in the whole park in massive herds but poachers are killing them. That´s why there is an anti-poacher team to avoid it.
