The Government is unaware of the value of wild animals; the people mostly regard them as inferior sorts of cow to be eaten or got rid of; the Game Department struggles to guard them with inadequate staff: what should be done? The author, a zoologist who has spent three years at the University of Khartoum, surveys the situation, comments on the recommendations in the Fraser Darling Report, and concludes that, if the Sudan is to become one of the principal game countries in Africa, as it should be, some at least of these recommendations must be implemented in the next five to ten years.
