Mopani Branch Snare Busters’ area of operation is from the Kruger National Park’s Western boundary to Letsitele in the East, Giyani in the North and the Orpen road in the South, but the majority of operations take place within a 15km radius of Phalaborwa.
The Snare Busters initiative was developed with the idea to expand it countrywide and to encourage other SA Hunters’ branches to start their own Snare Busters projects. All these initiatives would connect at a national level to combat snare poaching. The data that is collected during these Snare Busters activities could assist law enforcement and conservation organisations in a combined and concerted effort to curb snare poaching.
