- Abstract
The article focuses on the threats to various protected areas such as Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Virunga National Park in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It mentions that various ecologists opposed the proposed unpaved road which will be built across the migration route of wildebeest and zebra. It states that the government of DRC temporarily suspended the planned oil exploration on Virunga. It argues that protected areas need to be protected for all time.
