Our wildlife faces threats every day from illegal snares, traps, and poaching. Snares may not be something people hear of or pay much attention to. But these simple devices are probably amongst the highest killers of our wildlife.

When these snares or traps are set in the natural environment they are very difficult to spot and are deadly effective.

By joining our Anti-Snare Walks, you don’t just walk, you stand up against wildlife crime and become a guardian of our natural heritage.

Something to listen to… who is newly appointed to ORT visited us to share maps & facts about where less than 5% remains. The plan is to now connect those small clusters through legal ‘easements’, which reward landowners with support.

Our ORT CEO Odette Curtis-Scott joined Sara-Jayne Makwala King ‘on the couch’ on CapeTalk this week.

They chatted about the declaration of Haarwegskloof Renosterveld Reserve as a provincial nature reserve; and why protecting this reserve is so important. Listen to their delightful chat here:
