... continued from previous slides:
... knowing how dangerous Lake Victoria is due to all the crocodiles, seeing the two sitting on a raft that could fall apart every moment and assuming they are not able to swim: these guys must have been very desperate.
When thinking of poachers in Africa, I had this image in my mind of well equipped hunters going after every single elephant or rhino for their precious ivory or horn. I never had poor fishermen in mind that were fishing because they (most likely) did not have enough food for eating. Sure, if you want to be cynical, the guys seem to be well nourished, but what about their families?
Or alternatively, could you really make enough money from selling poached fish in order to accept the dangerous involved with their activities? How desperate do you have to be to paddle on a fragile raft, surrounded by crocodiles, hunted by park rangers ... ?
I was confronted with a completely new experience and I should learn even more later that day ...

... continued from previous slide:
On my previous slide I mentioned crocodiles in Lake Victoria. Well, I heard contradictory stories about them when I planned to go to stay on "my" island. Some people in Africa told me that of course, Lake Victoria is known for its crocodiles, but that I won't have a chance to see them on Rubondo Island. Others told me that this island too is well frequented by crocodiles.
Hmm, when arriving on the island, the rangers told me that washing and fetching water in the lake is no problem (apart from Bilharzia). Nonetheless, I decided to be careful and did not spend more time in the shallow waters than needed. In addition, knowing that crocs can be very patient, I everyday changed the location where I refilled my water buckets and washed myself.
During all three months, I haven't seen a single crocodile - which apparently is good: I know that, when standing in the water, as soon as you spot a crocodile it might be too late to escape anyhow. So, it was until I was back home that I discovered how right I was with my tactics:
They day I was picked up again and flown back to the Serengeti NP headquarters I spotted a Hippo walking on shore right behind "my camp". I grabbed my camera and tried to shot a picture of it. When I showed to slides to my parents months later, my mom asked me "what are the many "sticks" in the water?" ... ehm, indeed, at least seven crocodiles were bathing in the waters not even 100m from where I camped during three months! Lucky me ....
... but switching back to the previous slide: indeed a very dangerous lake to paddle in on a fragile raft ...

... continued from previous slide:
... some half hour later that rangers stopped the cat-and-mouse-game and caught up with the poachers. The fishermen were taken on board the small boat. No resistance at all. Even when the rangers started to shout at them, no reaction in their face, no aggression, no regret, not pity, nothing. Seemed as if they had nothing to say as if it was daily routine ... for both rangers and fisherman.
After a while I asked what will happen to those two guys. "Well, we wish they would 'accidentally die' and not return" answered one of the rangers with a smile in his face. Again, I was perplex to hear such answer. "But no, we will take him to the island first and then, later this week, we will take everyone to the district capital on the mainland for trial", another ranger complemented. But, seeing a very big smile in his face and a wink in his eye, I doubted whether such things as fair trial would exist in this corner of the country ...

... continued from previous slide:
O.k. this story is coming to an end and I want to keep this one short. Other than the poach fish the world record fish was not confiscated, smoked and delivered to the district court as an evidence for a crime. It was either thrown back into the water (as they have fished some much fish impossible to transport or keep) or they were taken a shore. Such as this one. Joseph, one of the rangers and a very good cook too, took care of the this huge Nile Perch.
And I have to admit that - grilled on a fire by the lake - it tasted delicious ... how guilty do I have to feel?

PS: It was one of the few times that I ate enough while living on the island. I lost more than 10 to 15kg as my food supply was everything else than sufficient ... hence this fish also was a feast for me!
... continued from previous slide:
... as mentioned on the previous slide, arresting poachers seemed to be part of daily life on this tiny Victory Lake island. But for me, it was everything else than normal life.
The seized boats in the background, the illegally caught fish in the foreground, the arrested poachers lined up at the rangers command. I do not want to bother you with details about the treatment of the arrested men, but it definitely didn't rank high in my western or northern ethical standards. In my journal, I described it as playing "human xylophone" ... imagine the row of bended human backs being the blocks of a that instrument ... .
It is difficult to imagine how much this scene contrasted to the otherwise so beautiful island. Only two years later, a (very basic and very well integrated) tourist camp opened on that Island. A Swiss Sunday newspaper wrote: "The last paradise on earth" ... at least that day it was far from being paradise for these men ...

... continued from previous slide:
So, here we are. Some desperate, hungry, poor (black) people are being taken into custody for catching fish for the food. And some other people healthy and wealthy (and white) are being pampered by the park authority for catching fish for fun purpose.
O.k. I know this is a little bit too black and white (in the true meaning of the words too). I also understood that these visitors/sport fishermen payed some 50$ a day for a fishing permit and that this money paid the park rangers salary (and indirectly, this also financed research such as I did on the island (though I benefited from other funding)). Of course, I also knew that these three, very kind and thoughtful persons, two of them medical doctors, worked with and for the very poor in South Africa helping them surviving in their miserable lives. And I also knew that they as well deserved vacation and some distance from their daily sorrows in South Africa.
But still, it wasn't easy to accept the contradictions I have experienced within just a few days.

PS: The three South Africans were very experienced fly-fishers. They set a couple of new world records during these three days on Lake Victory. I have no clue about fly fishing but I was told that they managed to fish very heavy fish with very light lines ... ask the experts for details.

... continued from previous slide: For about an hour the rangers cruised along the eastern coast line of the island when they suddenly spotted the poachers on a scanty raft paddling for their life.
The steersman immediately throttled engines and seeing my surprised face he explained why he did so: "let them row for a while before we catch them. That makes them tired before we reach them".
I was perplex. Lake victory is known for crocodiles and basically sitting in the water paddling on a raft is very dangerous. In addition, the raft could fall apart any seconds and the locals usually do not know to swim. But, starting a discussion about the "tactics" of the ranger was impossible. First, we could barely communicate (the above was my interpretation from the mixture of Swahili, broken English and Hand Signs and body gestures). Second, was it me to judge whether their doing was write or wrong? Could I even come close to understand what was going on in this part of the world? Thirdly, they were doing what they were told to do by the organization also financing and supporting my research. Would they understand me questioning their doing in this context?
But, I should be even more surprised and somewhat paralyzed about the further development of this.

Back in 1994 I had my little project with Chimpanzee that made me go to Rubondo Island on Lake Victoria. I stayed on the Island for 3 months researching a Chimpanzee population on the Island.
As we had some issues with the authorities I was flown to the island on a small airplane. The pilot dropped me there and said "see you again same place same time in 4 months!" - there I was all by myself at the beginning of an incredible time I will never want to miss.
At that time, the island and National Park, approx. 240sqkm was not inhabited by humans except of some park rangers living in three stations not far from "my camp".
When I scanned my old slides last week, I stumbled across some pictures telling a story I actually never forgot and that I would like to share with you. I will do so in a series of pictures, I hope you find your time to read through the descriptions.
You will certainly realize this is not about "nice pictures" or collecting faves, this is all about real life in one of the poorest areas in the world, it is about contrast, about conflicting priorities and about difficulties to understand foreign cultures (at least I hope it will be all that ... I have not started writing about it).
In order to preserve this touch of reality, I on purpose did not optimize pictures, i.e. cropping, changing tones or contrasts. Hence, forgive the rather dark nature of these scans.
