Wildlife Canada Society created an anti-poaching response team in the Tsavo of Kenya.

The team provides front-line protection for wildlife through the removal of snares and the arrest of poachers.

Over the past 15 years alone, the DSWT’s Anti-Poaching teams have removed in excess of 150,000 illegal snares and arrested more than 1,700 poachers.
