De-snaring Takes Place at Eburu Forest Above the Lakes

Eburu Forest nestled on a volcanic mountain over Lake Naivasha to the south-east, Lake Elementaita to the north and Lake Nakuru to the north-west was the targeted site of snare removal in the month of July. The ANAW, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and Eburu Forest personnel undertook a de-snaring operation. Fortunately, no snares were recovered. However, three loggers were encountered during the exercise. Vehicle patrols were carried out in some ranches to monitor wildlife in distress.

In the great new partnership, the team was grateful to work with the Eburu forest team. Earlier the team held discussions with KWS Community Warden at Karagita Station in Naivasha and the senior warden at Hell’s Gate National Park. The KWS officers applauded ANAW for their partnership to curb bushmeat and urged them to continue partnering with KWS to address bushmeat menace in the area.
