On the 6th of March the Ministry of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism of South Sudan banned all forms of wildlife hunting to contrast the phenomenon that threatens to compromise the extraordinary natural heritage of South Sudan, the place where the second largest migration of land mammals takes place and that hosts species of global importance like elephants, giraffes, lions and hippos. This measure also bans the trade in hunting trophies as well as wildlife products like animal skins, meat, fur and bird feathers.
