Introduction to Snare Patrols Course | South Africa

February 21 @ 8:00 am - February 27 @ 5:00 pm

$2000

Instructors: Geoffrey Phipps, Dylan W.

Snares are one of the deadliest threats to wildlife globally, silently capturing and killing countless animals each year. Effective snare patrols involve locating and removing these traps from both inside and outside wildlife reserves. This course will teach participants the skills necessary to identify, document, and remove snares, reducing their devastating impact on local ecosystems.

Participants will gain hands-on experience patrolling active conservation zones, exploring diverse habitats, and contributing directly to ongoing wildlife protection efforts. Each program also includes opportunities to visit local tourist sites, ensuring a well-rounded and enriching experience.

What to Expect from GCF Training Courses

Our programs prioritize education and skill-building in wildlife conservation. While not as physically demanding as the 5-week Bootcamp, they still require a solid commitment to outdoor work, including hiking, navigating diverse terrains, and enduring the elements. Applicants should come prepared for adventure and hands-on learning, as well as a willingness to get involved in impactful conservation efforts.
