What you need to know:
Speaking after the walk organised by Chinese embassy in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Mr Mkapa said there were many countries which were pointing an accusing finger at China claiming it to be a major obstacle towards anti-poaching strategies.
But with the recent announcement, China has shown to the world that it was now a committed supporter of the anti-poaching crusade and other countries should follow suit.
