Yesterday the community all joined together again to locate and immobilize a young buffalo calf with a bad wire snare around it's back left leg. All went successfully and we will continue to monitor its recovery. Thanks to VFAPU, Zambezi Horse Safaris, Adrian Read & Josh Rhodes

People please make sure you pick up your litter! Last week we had back to back immobilizations of warthogs. This one had a piece of plastic PVC pipe embedded in its back left leg. The team was able to dart it and remove the pipe. Thanks to the ground team Charles Brightman Zimparks

Yesterday we responded to a buffalo with a bad wire snare wrapped around it's back right leg. The wire had cut in and the wound need a bit of clean up. We believe the buffalo will make a full recovery and thanks to Adrian Read, Zimparks, Josh Rhodes and Paul from Shearwater.

Today, we’re grateful for those who support wildlife conservation. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends in America who celebrate. Although turkeys and vultures are not related, it’s easy to understand the focus on vulture conservation this time of year.

Recently we had a Tawny Eagle brought in to the rehab centre. The Eagle had a fractured right humerus. After anesthetizing the bird and taking X-rays, Dr. Peacocke was able to pin the wing and we have been monitoring its recovery. We hope it will regain full use of the wing.

Last week a good samaritan phoned us about an African Goshawk that was coming into their garden but had a problem with its leg. We were able to catch the bird and on x-ray examination found that his left leg is fractured. He is currently undergoing treatment and doing well.

On Friday afternoon we were able to dart this adult female warthog that had a wire snare around her neck. Fortunatley she didn't have any deep wounds. Much thanks to Pure Africa for calling us out, VFAPU and Zambezi Horse Safaris for your help on the ground.
