🏆Great Week for Anti-Poaching🏆
Our Coalition has two major Anti-Poaching operations.
In Victoria Falls under the
Victoria Falls Anti Poaching Unit and in Hwange National Park under Bhejane Trust
Both recorded fantastic wins this past week. Apprehending suspects and protecting our wild landscapes.
Victoria Falls saw two good arrests. Both suspects targeting smaller animals such as small antelope, hares and game birds.
The first was a 4 day operation which led to the arrest of a known culprit and the recovery of over 145 snares. Mostly thin gauge wire set close to the ground targeting smaller animals.
However, each one of these had the potential of causing untold harm and suffering to all types of animals.
The second was a suspect caught exiting the bush with evidence of bush meat. Upon apprehension and further investigation he was arrested for his crimes.
The Hwange team also had a great win.
On a routine patrol, a fresh snare line was discovered. Signs on the ground showed that the suspect had checked his traps recently. The team set out an ambush and after several days, affected a successful arrest.
A total of 14 heavy duty snares were recovered, each set over animals paths, poised to trap its unsuspecting victim.
We praise the efforts of these Anti-Poaching teams. Your hard work, patience and perseverance IS making a difference, and better protecting our animals.
