STATE EMPLOY 500 RANGERS TO FIGHT POACHING

Today’s International Wildlife Conference could mark a turning point in the fight to save endangered wildlife and end wildlife crime.

In a news feature by the BBC, we witness a wild bull elephant that had been targeted by poachers, again, and unlike so many others that are killed every day to fuel the demand for ivory, this wild bull is fortunate to receive treatment for a spear wound from one of the DSWT/KWS Mobile Vet Teams. We also hear our founder, Dame Daphne, emotionally describe the toll of poaching as “an indictment on human kind.”

There is not much time left for wild elephants – 10 or 15 years by estimates – so today’s conference is more critical than ever. We are hopeful the meeting will result in action and viable solutions that will be implemented without delay. We wait, with you and people across the globe, to hear the outcomes from today and see where they lead us in the battle to save wildlife.

And while the leaders talk, you can know that through your support, our teams are in the field, right now, fighting to protect elephants, rhinos and other wild species in Kenya.
