Fourteen countries are represented at an international conference to consider means of preserving 'and protecting flora and fauna of Africa. Lord Plymouth, Under-Secretary for Colonies, emphasised the need for new methods to control the indiscriminate destruction of wild life. Lord Onslow detailed some of the articles in a draft convention prepared by the British Government, with special* reference to the constitution of national parks and reserves. The English-speaking representative of Ethiopia, a picturesque figure, said his country intends to deal with motor car hunters who dash about shooting herds and scattering them. It will be more difficult to legislate regarding the modern peril of aircraft, the noise of which, scares wild beasts, causing much damage. Professional big game hunters, poachers, and amateur sportsmen threaten the gradual extinction of Africa’s wild game, said Mr te Water.
