Anti-poaching unit CWF

The CWF's anti-poaching unit (https://www.conservationwildlifefund.org/) is supported by African Bushcamps (https://africanbushcamps.com/) and Imvelo Safari Lodges (https://www.imvelosafarilodges.com/), among others. After the Corona lockdown, foreign tourists can now come to Zimbabwe again. This gives the lodges the opportunity to better support the anti-poaching unit financially. The Field Co-ordinator of this unit is our old friend Steve. We met him 4 times.

Near the railway line on the north-eastern edge of Hwange NP is the camp of the anti-poaching unit.

The two dogs are Steve's constant companions.

After poachers made countless wire snares from the disused telephone line along the railway line on the north-eastern edge of Hwange National Park, Steve and his team dismantled many km of the wire.

Telephone wires removed by the Anti-poaching Unit

Steve and his team are always on the job (as in the giraffe rescue described below).
