Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve has been listed as World Heritage in Danger due to unprecedented levels of illegal wildlife trade, as announced today at the 38th annual World Heritage Committee meeting in Doha, Qatar.
The decision, which aims to trigger international action to protect the site, follows the advice of IUCN - the official World Heritage advisory body on nature.
"Illegal wildlife trade and elephant poaching in particular remain at an alarmingly high level and Tanzania is one of the source countries that are most heavily affected by it," says Tim Badman, Director of IUCN's World Heritage Programme.
