In spite of a glorious past, the Park faces two big challenges in order to assure its future: to eradicate poaching and to make of the Park a tourist destination. Only this way Garamba may survive. Luis Arranz, the Park Director, and his team undertake several projects to reactivate the Park, but in the short term, there are urgent matters to be solved. Owing to poachers activities several elephants are found dead in Garamba. The pursue of the poachers starts.
