Title:
June was a month of both big wins and heartbreaking losses for Victoria Falls Anti-Poaching Unit
Publication Year:
2026
Abstract:

Our rangers recovered 90 snares and traps, detected five poacher incursions, and helped rescue two animals caught in snares. A buffalo bull was successfully treated and is expected to recover, while the loss of a lioness to another snare just days after her rescue was a devastating reminder of the ongoing threat facing Victoria Falls' wildlife. There was also a major intelligence-led win, with two suspects arrested in connection with pangolin scales - an important step in tackling the illegal wildlife trade. Thank you to every ranger, partner and supporter who continues to stand with us. Together, we keep fighting for our wild spaces.
