00:00Fire Rangers at Burundi's Rubuvu National Park continue to battle with little success the flames of a bushfire that has
00:07destroyed more than 10,000 hectares. According to the park's chief manager, postures are the primary suspects behind the destruction.
00:16The official stressed that people who enter the park in search of firewood or grazing land for their livestock or
00:24people crossing over there may also set the park on fire, if only to clear a path.
00:30Authorities say that without advanced firefighting equipment, the blazers have been growing in size, eating up one-fifth of the
00:39protected area. Covering over 50,000 hectares, Rubuvu National Park was established in 1980 and is home to 44 species
00:48of mammals, 425 species of birds, reptiles, 14 species of fish and more.
