Namibia deploys army to fight wildfire burning third of Etosha game reserve

Namibia is taking urgent action by deploying hundreds of soldiers to combat a devastating wildfire that has already consumed a third of the Etosha National Park. This park is not only one of Africa's largest game reserves but also a crucial habitat for 114 mammal species, including the critically endangered black rhinoceros. The fire poses a significant threat to wildlife and the tourism industry, making this situation critical for conservation efforts and local economies.
