Twenty-seven poachers were arrested in November and 61 snares recovered. Since our inception we have arrested 2,504 poachers and collected a minimum of 32,734 wire snares, many more have been collected but gone unreported. How does this translate into animals saved? Probably, tens of thousands over the years. We continue to catch a few groups in the Triangle – as we did this month. However, the bulk of our work continues to be in the Lemai Wedge and Northern Serengeti. The impact of our work in this area cannot be overestimated – it is only a few years ago that lion, leopard and buffalo were unheard of in the Lemai and there were certainly no camps in the Kokatende/Lemai area of the Serengeti. This year there were 26 camps – six of them are now permanent. We strongly commend our security staff for the work they have done: for their commitment and professionalism. read more:
