The wildlife of southern Sudan is profuse and diverse but its potential for tourism is scarcely developed. Its conservation is hampered by fuel shortages and the inaccessible nature of the country, and heavily armed poachers have slaughtered large numbers of elephants for ivory. The author, who visited the country in 1982, reports on the conservation work that is being carried out despite the problems.
