Thanks to a generous donation of €3000, we will also be able to procure anaesthetics for injured wild animals in Zimbabwe in 2024. These will then be distributed to appropriately trained and licensed units in Zimbabwe so that they are quickly available in an emergency. This makes it possible to help seriously injured animals. In most cases, these injuries are caused by snares set by poachers. We therefore mainly supply anti-poaching units with this medicines. We also distributed these expensive medicines in Zimbabwe in 2022.
Injured lioness Najam
The lioness Najam from the Bumi Hills in Zimbabwe was cruelly injured in the mouth and neck by a snare. She could only be helped by anaesthesia on site and appropriate surgical treatment.
Handover of the anaesthetics from Wolfgang Hennig to Mark Brightman
Here, in 2022, our association chairman Dr Wolfgang Hennig hands over anaesthetics for wild animals to the head of the anti-poaching unit Mark Brightman and his wife Catherine Norton in the Bumi Hills on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe.
Jessica C. Dawson
We also handed over the expensive anaesthetics to the head of the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust in Zimbabwe, Jessica C. Dawson, in 2022, as we did to several other units.
