Rangers from Ngiro-are and poacher, with dried hippo meat.

Rangers from Ngiro-are outpost reported on the 19th that they had collected 35 snares in just one morning patrol at Kasarani. They found a topis caught in one of the snares, with the wire caught around it’s neck. That evening they laid an ambush at Endonyo Olpaek in the hope that poachers would come back to the area, which they did, and they managed to arrest one poacher, but nine managed to escape arrest. These poachers had succeeded in killing a hippo with spears. Yesterday rangers from Ngiro Are reported that they had collected a further 10 snares along the border.

With the migration coming we will see a rise in the number of snares being used and really need your support to help fund both day and night patrols. We cannot do this without you.

Please, make a donation, or help us by telling all those who you think may be interested in supporting us at this time.

Thank you.
