From AFP News Agency.
A massive fire that scorched through more than a third of Namibia’s best-known national park has now been contained, according to the country’s environment minister.
The blaze at Etosha National Park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves, broke out on 22 September and spread rapidly due to high winds and parched vegetation.
500 soldiers were deployed to help contain the fire, which is believed to have started at a charcoal production site. The park is home to 114 mammal species, including the critically endangered black rhinoceros.
