DRC
Institut Congolais pour
la Conservation de la
Nature (ICCN) rangers
deploy from an AP
helicopter to engage
poachers threatening
elephants. This wasn’t
a drill: Two poachers
died in the ensuing fire-
fight, and a ranger was
wounded. No elephants
were killed. AP works
with ICCN, the national
protected-areas agency,
to defend Garamba.
