Plans and priorities.
The proposed Lantoto National Park, adjacent to Parc National de la Garamba. The Lantoto area, south of the Yei-Maridi road was covered as part of the Garamba aerial census. It is an attractive, gently hilly area with moderate to thick cover of broadleaved woodland, but very limited availability of water. Almost no animals were seen, apart from an occasional duiker or warthog. Its main value is as a buffer zone to Garamba. It is questionable whether the Sudanese authorities should invest a large part of their limited resources in protecting the area but it is certainly worth improving its legal conservation status.
