Sudan is one of the richest countries in Wildlife in Africa . This animal wealth belong to all Sudanese people , and it's our duty to protect and preserve it . In the past , people were allowed to hunt animals for food . They used traditional weapons such as spears , arrows and nets . But this method of hunting didn't affect the number of animals because the a mount they killed was limited . But when firearms were later introduced , specially by those hunting for commercial purposes , animals were killed in great numbers and some species became threatened with extinction .
