An introductory snare workshop is being held October 1-2, 2022 in Cape Town, South Africa. The training will bring together landowners, communities, researchers, and wildlife rehabilitation experts to better protect the area wildlife from snares, a common poaching tool.
Participants will learn how to identify, remove, reduce, and prevent snares in and around valuable wildlife habitat. The workshop will be taught by Global Conservation Force CEO/President, Mike Veale. Three graduates of last year’s Global Conservation Force anti-poaching ranger training will join Mike. They will serve as assistant instructors and help translate course materials and discussions for local community members.
The two-day workshop is free to attend and includes entry to Helderberg Nature Reserve, specialist training and course content, as well as food and refreshments. Email rcdirector@capeleopard.org.za to reserve a spot. Deadline to register is September 19, 2022.
