Sean Naude warns restricting help puts wildlife at risk

[PODCAST]

A devastating wildfire has been tearing through Etosha National Park since Monday, destroying more than 1000 hectares of land, including parts of a nearby farm.

So far, no human or wildlife casualties have been reported, but the blaze continues to spread rapidly, fueled by strong winds and dry vegetation.

On the ground, concerns are mounting over how the crisis is being managed — particularly the decision to restrict outside assistance, even as the fire threatens more land and wildlife.

In an interview with Desert FM Sean Naude from the Namibian Marshal Rangers said he has been closely monitoring the fire.
