The Yatta plateau is the world’s longest lava flow and is extremely rugged and rocky terrain, covered in densely vegetated scrub. Several springs seep out at the base of the plateau, providing much needed water for wildlife during the harsh dry seasons. Poachers have historically used the Yatta as a route into Tsavo East National Park. Illegal activities encountered here include snaring for the bushmeat trade, ivory poaching, livestock encroachment and the cutting of trees for timber and to make charcoal. This report provides an overview of the activity of all our De-Snaring Teams in April 2022, with a more detailed description of the Mobile South Team's operational activities in the period.
