Born Free Foundation Anti Poaching Team needs your support Last week Shelley Waterland, Programmes Manager for Born Free, travelled out to Park W with the Sunday Mirror to meet the anti-poaching team desperately trying to protect elephants from the criminal gangs determined to kill them for their ivory. Tragically, the recent upsurge in demand for elephant ivory in China and the Far East has caused alarming levels of elephant poaching inside the Park. The anti-poaching teams are ill-equipped to deal with the sophisticated weaponry of the poachers – both elephants and the people trying to protect them are losing their lives. Born Free and the Sunday Mirror have raised funds to support the anti-poaching teams in Park W, which comprise 25 rangers and a number of community Eco Guards. We are very pleased to have been able to provide them with new uniforms, GPS units, first aid kits and other basic equipment. However, much more is needed.
