62 SNARES COLLECTED

Findings

The Team started the month’s patrols on the Trust land where we thankfully did not lift any snares. We did however lift 23 small snares and 2 large snares from an abandoned farm which is adjacent to the Trust Airfield.

We then patrolled the Mtito River from rock camp towards the Athi River. The team lifted 6 large snares and 31 small snares on Kanyasia farm. Unfortunately, on the same farm, we also came across the carcass of a warthog that had been killed by a snare.

We believe that the poachers are targeting the areas near to the streams as there is a large number of wildlife crossing the river from the park to the Athi in search of water. The team was also given several snares by the Manager of Sasoon farm.
