Fragile Relationship Between Animals and Humans

 In Rwanda, tourism plays a huge role in the country’s economy, this is because it is one of the country’s biggest foreign exchange earners as it’s from the travelers who come to see the diversity of the wildlife and carrying out activities like gorilla tracking. However the relationships between wildlife and humans living near the national park has been under jeopardy where by the areas that being allocated by the government for tourism conservation is being encroached on by the local population seeking land for agricultural activities and poachers who still see wildlife as a source of food. This has however increased tension between the government and such individual’s hence prompting government to employ another group of individuals referred to as game rangers who are trained and equipped with conservation skills and they mainly to ensure that the fragile life’s of the wild animals are protected from criminal activities like poaching. The government has also sensitized the local population on the benefits of having of having wildlife hence increasing on their awareness of the population concerning issues to deal with wild life conservation in Rwanda as a Nation. All in all this has improved on the relationship between animals and humans.
