This week
1) Joshua weighing lunch for the sooty mangabeys. Precise caloric and nutritional intake ensures every individual meets its specific requirements.
2) PEE-PEE; Resident cute factor.
3) Confiscated wildlife specimen at the Forestry Development Authority (FDA) headquarters.
4) Blind dwarf crocodile Steven submerged in leaf litter. We use this to maintain ground humidity, though he enjoys it for his own unexplained reasons..
5) Stakeholder wrokshop for implementing the National Strategy on Wildlife Crime. This initiative is subject to the ECOWAS requirement for member states to establish National Task Forces and implementation plans to combat illegal wildlife trade. Participants included INTERPOL, Liberia National Police, FDA rangers, legal experts, NGOs, the sanctuaries (us), and more.
6) BAMBI, a new young female bay duiker at our sanctuary, transitioning from the FDA to the sanctuary for rehabilitation.
7) Sooty being sooty.
8) Yesterday a new database of wildlife crime was launched to track crimes in real-time. Centralized data is critical for identifying poaching hotspots, mapping criminal networks, and optimizing patrol deployments based on historical trends. This is the first system of its kind in West Africa and a collaborative milestone for the region. Very proud on the people who achieved that, and glad we could take part in it!!👏👏 This is big
