Murders of female naturalists in Africa

Dian Fossey was a conservationist. She was murdered in Africa in 1985. Joan Root was a conservationist. She was murdered in Africa in 2006. They were both women of caucasian heritage. Coincidence?

Concern with murder of female conservationists in Africa who are of caucasian heritage

Is this worthy of a separate Wikipedia entry? There are numerous cases now, of the murders (mostly unsolved) of White female environmentalists and conservationists in Africa.

Dian Fossey.
Joan Root.
Ymke Warren.
(REF: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/cameroon/7864423/British-gorilla-expert-murdered-in-Cameroon.html)

Is there a serial killer at work? Targeting them because of their racial heritage? Or is there a political motive? This needs to be dealt with. We cannot continue to sweep this under the rug. This is the sort of thing for which Wikipedia was invented - to disseminate cogent facts throughout the world, and spark debate amongst intellectuals who have the power to change things for the better.

Or am I wrong?
