Imposter Pack Have Run Into a Bit of Trouble! We have recently noticed Shadow and Bars from Imposter with snare injuries, and sadly Bars (sighted 24 hours ago) is still carrying the wire. The pack must have gone through a poacher's snare wire traps. Sometimes they are able to chew or snap the wires off themselves (as it appears Shadow did), but more often than not they carry them with them. In both cases the animals have to fight, tearing and hurting their mouths in the process. We are very relieved that all the other adults are accounted for and okay (especially since they have 8 puppies to look after!), and are coordinating efforts to dart and remove the wire from Bars as soon as possible. We'll keep you posted. Thank you to Barry Wolhuter from @sangowildlifelodge for sending through photos of the pack which alerted us to the snare injuries. #poaching #helpingothers #photos #report #teamwork #protection

It's that time of year again... our annual carnivore spoor surveys are underway! The AWCF team is braving the dense October heat, the relentless mopani flies, and long dusty days in the field covering key wildlife areas in the lowveld of Zimbabwe, and contributing to research and management of the large carnivore guild. Keep following to see what the team might come across next :) #survey #work #research #carnivores #tracks #scout #fieldwork #nature #wild #count #experience #enjoy

African wild dogs move home during the night! With their puppies a little older now, this pack has taken the opportunity to be more mobile and move to a new den with a little more space :) Watch until the end - how many puppies can you count? Thanks to @kimwolhuter for this INCREDIBLE footage! @savevalleyconservancy @sangowildlifelodge #move #night #mischief #family #home #new #walk #excited #relocate #experience #dark #capture

Our Environmental Cluster Competitions encourage students to get crafty! 🧵🪵🎨 These students made models of wild animals found in Zimbabwe and shared facts with their peers and elders. 🌍📕 We think they are fabulous!
