Dear donors,
We have received $592 donations on GlobalGiving and $5000.00 in grants towards our project to purchase wildlife research collars. We have purchased two research collars to be placed on two Spotted Hyena, we are currently in the process of collaring the hyena.
Our aim is to add an additional four collars, on top of the two we are currently implementing, to a research project run by our partners, the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT).
The reason for collaring Lions, Hyenas and possibly other species is due to them inhabiting an area where they are at a very high risk to being killed by poachers.
We recently again lost four Spotted Hyena and seven Lions in snares in this area and we had to remove a snare from one hyena in the same area.
We have assisted (EWT) in collaring one Lioness and one African Wild Dog since our last report.
We are hoping to get quite a few collars on lions and spotted hyena as it will greatly improve the collection of data on threats and ways to try and prevent the high number of losses experienced due to poaching.
We are looking forward to making this project a success.
