By early 1997, the situation deteriorated rapidly. The infrastructure of the park was destroyed, mostly by looting, and the protection system collapsed with many guards now engaging in the rampant poaching (mainly for meat, but included at least one rhino). Among items lost were the vehicles, including one donated by IRF by a coalition of 16 institutions worldwide.
