Wildlife research collars

Dear donors,

We have received $1641.59 donations on GlobalGiving plus $700.00 through private donations and $5000.00 in grants towards our project to purchase wildlife research collars. We have raised a total of $7341.59 of our $16,000.00 goal. We have purchased two research collars and will be ordering another collar soon.

In December 2024 we successfully collared an adult female Spotted Hyena. Data gathered from the spotted hyena since we started:

1. She has covered 547.90km in 55 days, walking +/-
   10km per night. She traverses over six properties
   and has a territory of roughly 6000 hectares. Her
   core home range covers and area of about 1200
   hectares. We have determined where her den site
   is and will soon be installing trail cameras to
   monitor her, her cubs and the rest of her clan to
   check for any snares or snare related injuries
   popping up.
2. Through following up on her collar data we have discovered multiple carcasses of wild animals killed in snares including that of a buffalo cow.
3. We have discovered and destroyed a very active poacher's camp after she visited the site to scavenge on the remains of the poachers victims.
4. We removed 162 poachers snares after following up on the hyena's collar data.
5. We apprehended a poacher while following up on the hyena's collar data.

We are currently trying to get the second purchased collar on a spotted hyena and will be placing an order for a third collar soon.

Thank you for your continued support and making this project possible.
