Four suspected poachers were arrested at the Kruger National Park (KNP) over the weekend, said South African National Parks (SANParks). In a statement on Monday, SANParks said one suspected poacher was arrested on April 17 in possession of poaching equipment including a rifle and an ax, reports Xinhua news agency. The second one fled from the rangers and was trampled to death by elephants and a third one escaped. On April 18, the rangers supported by the airwing and K9 units (dog section) tracked the poachers and arrested three. "It has been a successful weekend in the fight to keep our rhinos alive in the park, we are delighted with our anti-poaching teams who were able to arrest suspects before any animal was killed. The actions are a morale booster for our anti-poaching teams and conservation efforts," said Gareth Coleman, managing executive of the KNP. (IANS)
