Our team just wrapped up an intense week with plenty of challenges—and big wins!
In Banhine National Park, we replaced the collar of an “ecological corridor expert elephant” called Dusty. The crucial data generated by his movements helps conservation managers understand elephant movement patterns along ecological links between protected areas. Additionally, we also found and collared a new group of elephants in the region, gaining fresh insights into how elephants use the landscape. Tracking them means smarter habitat management and conflict prevention strategies.
Lastly, in Zinave National Park, a new arrival sub-adult male lion was spotted with a snare around his neck—a harsh reality of the threats wildlife face. Scouts anchored him in place with bait until the vet team arrived, darted him, and removed the snare.
⚠️ Heads-up: the image may be a bit explicit, but it’s important to show the realities we’re working to change. Thanks to quick action, the lion’s life was saved, and he’s now recovering well.
Every mission count, and every life matters. Huge thanks to Peace Parks Foundation for making both operations possible and to the Endangered Wildlife Trust for helping with the lion monitoring and baiting allowing for our team to effectively save his life!
