'Doing what I can before it's too late': Irish wildlife champion killed in ambush

Mr Young was the co-founder and president of the Chengeta Wildlife group

Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney has paid tribute to an Irish citizen killed in Burkina Faso on Tuesday, and "condemned in the strongest possible terms" the attack on his group.

Conservationist Rory Young was among a group of foreigners abducted when a special wildlife unit was ambushed in the African country on Monday morning.
