Protecting Lions from Poaching Snares
 The SLCS Lion Anti-Snaring Team targets areas of high risk or use by lions as determined by ZCP data and has also been involved in a study of snaring patterns.  Poaching snares are readily made from surplus wire around camps, shops and residences; thus treating and storing wire similar to ammunition is important in reducing snaring.  ZCP staff Henry Mwape and Thandi Mweetwa and SLCS CEO Rachel McRobb attend to an immobilized lioness with a snare.  Snared lions that were darted and treated by ZCP and SLCS staff, comprising a significant portion of the population that avoided serious injury or death due to these rescue efforts. |
