The attack left another ranger seriously wounded - but after being treated at a hospital in Goma, his injuries were no longer considered life-threatening.
Park director Emmanuel de Merode, who was shot during service in 2014, said his team remain committed to the protection of wildlife despite the dangers.
He said: We are facing a situation that is extremely difficult, but which in no way erodes the conviction of all ICCN staff to continue our efforts.

InvestigateWest: Washington state plan would slash emissions

After more than a decade of the supposedly eco-friendly Pacific Northwest and British Columbia falling short on pledges to fight climate change, a new blueprint emerged last month for how to eliminate all but a sliver of fossil-fuel emissions.
The 428-page plan by Washington state outlines how to make a wholesale shift to renewable energy and meet some of the most ambitious climate-protection goals on the planet. It calls for building a regional network of solar and wind energy stations and transmission lines allowing sharing of power across the western U.S. and Canada.
