Yet again time has flown by and I haven’t done a blog post for well over two months - now Zoundry is back I hope to keep you all updated more often.

In my last blog I mentioned that 2 Hirola were found poached in Ishaqbini Conservancy, along with a buffalo. Following this the Ishaqbini Scouts together with Lewa Wildlife Conservancy security personnel were able to arrest 2 poachers who have been detained and will appear in court later this month. The level of poaching in the area was alarming, every day the scouts patrol they find evidence of snares and poachers prints - however since the intensive anti-poaching operation begun they have already seen a decline, and the arrest of 2 poachers has sent a clear message to their neighbouring community that they mean business. KWS are now working closely with the scouts and the intensified presence of security personnel and patrols in the area is working as a deterrent to poachers - lets hope it continues.
