is as gung-ho as Hoeven about drilling for natural gas, and the
controversial process known as fracking used to access it.The government
hopes to calm some opposition to natural gas by releasing a set
of draft rules to regulate hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The process
involves injecting a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals deep
into rock formations to release trapped oil and gas.Supporters say the drilling
method should continue and is credited for the countrys domestic energy
boom. They say fracking gives the country a chance to cut its
dependence on foreign oil.Environmental groups have long objected to the
practice and say it pollutes the groundwater and kills crops and livestock.
They also argue that fracking releases heat-trapping methane gas into the
air.But in mid-April, the Environmental Protection Agency dramatically lowered
its estimate of how much methane leaks during natural gas production. The
agency said that tighter pollution controls put in place by the industry
from 1990 to 2010 cut the countrys average of methane emissions by
more than 850 million metric tons overall, or about 41.6 million metric
tons annually. Thats a 20 percent decrease from previous EPA estimates
a decrease that took place as natural gas production in the country
grew by nearly 40 percent in the past two decades. It is
not clear exactly when the government will release its fracking regulations,
but it is expec
ca to Mozambique, including the first 12 rhinos to roam in Mozambique
in a century.In 2006, South Africa removed some 50 kilometers (30 miles)
of fence between Kruger and Limpopo National Park. Soto said the entire
200 kilometers (125 miles) of fence was not removed because Mozambique still
is working to resettle some 6,000 people living in the park.A second
phase was to include two other Mozambican parks, allowing the transfrontier
park to extend over 100,000 square kilometers (39,000 sq. miles) that would
make it "the world's largest animal kingdom," according to the South African
Peace Parks Foundation.Those plans now are in danger, as is the Great
Limpopo Transfrontier Park. Knight said South African officials are even
discussing rebuilding their fence with Mozambique.South African officials
say their country has lost 273 rhinos to poachers so far this
year. They say most have been killed by Mozambicans who cross into
Kruger Park. Poachers killed 668 rhinos in South Africa last year.The slaughter
continues with the number of deaths increasing even though South Africa
has declared war on rhino poachers and for two years has deployed
soldiers and police in Kruger, a vast park which is the size
of Israel.Soto said Mozambique's government has been working since 2009
on a comprehensive reform of environmental laws involving consultations
with all stakeholders. He said he expects the draft legislation to be
presented to parliament soon. I
