Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, illegal trade in bush meat and the harvesting of protected species for the illegal trade in animal parts has escalated rapidly. Initially this was due to less rangers on the ground during lockdown, but it is also due to rising unemployment. The use of wire and cable snares to poach wildlife is one of our biggest problems we face, snares are unselective and very efficient at killing animals and the survivors walk around with gaping wounds and the snares attached. | Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, illegal trade in bush meat and the harvesting of protected species for the illegal trade in animal parts has escalated rapidly.
