Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what training and assistance the UK armed forces are providing to support anti-poaching patrols in other countries.
A team of seven UK Armed Forces personnel have been providing training and mentoring to African Parks rangers since August in Liwonde National Park, Malawi.
In November a short term training team of 11 UK Armed Forces personnel will travel to Gabon, to train up to 60 rangers from the Agence Nationale des Parcs Nationaux in counter-poaching patrolling skills.
