The machete and pistol armed poachers trapped the conservationists in the ruins of the research facility they burnt down three weeks earlier. The siege lasted almost six hours before the federal police came and held off the poachers long enough for them to escape. ... Is an avid outdoorsman and is a big advocate of wildlife conservation.
