Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean. 
Arusha. The United Kingdom has reaffirmed its commitment to continue working with East African governments in fighting poaching and the illegal wildlife trade.
The UK says only through partnerships among governments and other players will the war on the vice be won.
UK Deputy High Commissioner to Tanzania, Mr Matt Sutherland, said here that the British Government places a high priority on protecting Tanzania’s unique biodiversity, and that doing so is good for the environment, the economy and for social development within the country.
He spoke yesterday when meeting Allan Kijazi, Director General of Tanzania National Parks Authority (Tanapa). He also handed over laptops to ensure better collection and use of data and intelligence.
“We are delighted to be part of the Tanzania government’s efforts to fight illegal poaching. By bringing together information and intelligence, Tanapa can tackle criminal networks, identifying trends and patterns in behaviour to ensure they are one step ahead of poachers,” he said, adding:
“And working together with neighbouring countries will ensure that criminal networks cannot exploit borders for their own gain,” said Mr Sutherland.
The hand over marked the completion of two rounds of regional training involving conservation officials from Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Rwanda.
The training was facilitated by The British Peace Support Team (BPST) based in Kenya. BPST is part of the British Army which coordinates and delivers peace support training across the Eastern African region.
