Poaching has become a major threat in almost all protected areas in Kenya, Ngong Forest Sanctuary is not an exemption, thanks to Born Free who have been having desnaring exercises in the forest in conjunction with volunteers from Wildlife Clubs of Kenya.
In a recent 20 minutes desnaring documenting that was centered in areas around Jockey Club of Kenya staff Quarters, (this is within the Sanctuary and one of the most affected area.), we recovered twenty two live snares.

Just a few meters from Jockey Club of Kenya staff Quarters, we found a trapped suni in the dense lantana camara thicket, it was badly wounded around the neck. We did some necessary first aid and released it back to the wild.
