During October the SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching Teams confiscated 1,367 snares and made 42 arrests, including 11 arrests for poaching activities (10 bushmeat poachers and 1 offender caught in possession of bushmeat), five livestock herders, six loggers, nine charcoal burners, two arsonists, seven fishermen, and one firewood collector. Bushmeat confiscated from poachers and camps totalled 12 kilograms of meat and 38 carcasses, including a large consignment of poached fish.

During the month, the teams destroyed six livestock bomas, five charcoal camps, and 24 charcoal kilns, along with 27 harbors/hides/camps most likely used by poachers.

The teams also discovered eight elephant carcasses and handed over 108 kilograms of ivory to the KWS. They supported the SWT/KWS Veterinary Units on seven occasions, responding to veterinary treatments of six elephants and one giraffe, along with supporting several cases of human-elephant conflict.
