LUANDA, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Angola, which rivals Nigeria as the largest oil producer in Africa, has manifested a strong interest to develop eco-tourism by preserving bio-diversity to reduce its dependence on oil revenues in the national economy.

In a speech to mark the June 5 World Environment Day, Angolan Minister of Environment Maria de Fatima said her country was in a bad need to diversify its economy and plan for the future, and was taking efforts to restore its elephant population, preserving bio-diversity as part of the environment protection to turn itself into "a new Angola".
