Hopefully these lengthy sentences will act as a deterrent to other poachers.

So terribly tragic. Our condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.

[Adams Cassinga @Amini16]

Our condolences go out to @IccnRdc and the entire family of ranger Bizimana Karabaranga, a patroller in the @gorillacd who was killed yesterday by a gunshot. At this stage its origin is not identified yet.Suspicions are that MaiMai armed groups could be responsible. MHSRIP!

"Though the rangers’ work is difficult and dangerous, it’s poorly paid. They work for the equivalent of $50 a month, and sometimes go three or even six months without pay, when tourist numbers are low"

So glad tech firms are finally blocking listings that facilitate wildlife trafficking!

[Maria Belo @maria_m_belo]

Tech Firms Block 11.6M Online Wildlife Trafficking Deals:
The blocked listings advertised live tigers, reptiles, primates and birds for the exotic pet trade, amd products derived from species like elephants, pangolins and marine turtles https://t.co/Y7dUI6vO8Y

A sobering fact this #WorldAnimalDay: more than 38 500 species are threatened with extinction. The race to save species is more urgent than ever. Habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade are amongst the main reasons for the rapid decline of most species. 🐾‼️

Apologies, I made a calculation error - the fund is closer to £400,000 / $545,000

[PoachingPrevention @PoachingPrevent]

Love this! Telangana government is setting up a 'Secret Service Fund' with a starting amount of Rs 4.06 crore (around £453,000 / $617,000) to stop poaching. The fund will largely be used to pay informers for tip-offs

@EmmaLewellBuck @EIA_News @IFAWUK @IFAWWestminster @ifawglobal The ban should have been brought into force long ago, the fact it still hasn't is shameful, as is the government's approach to its implementation... 🤔😞

SEIZED --THREE TONS OF LION BONES THE EQUIVALENT OF NEARLY 300 LIONS! #TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is decimating the #WildWorld.
💥 PLEASE SIGN THE AWF petition here: https://t.co/Bt59UUATes 💥
#TCM must end the use of animal body parts in unscientific "medicine".

[PoachingPrevention @PoachingPrevent]

6-month curfew & 2-year suspended sentence for illegally trading in the body parts of endangered species. Might as well just slap Law on the wrist & tell him he's a very naughty boy. Pitiful! His crime promotes possession of ivory & therefore poaching 😡

The creation of a 400 hectares park, dedicated to the protection of animals saved from poaching, has been agreed by the Congolese Minister of Forest Economy 👍

[Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) @edu4naturevn]

After an ENV volunteer alerted us to a restaurant in #Hanoi #Vietnam selling #pangolin, police seized 3 live and 14 frozen #pangolins. Then we worked with the court to secure prison time: 11 yrs for the restaurants owner, 5.5 yrs for the chef, and the 3 yrs for the supplier

[Adams Cassinga @Amini16]

Okapi skin seized and one trafficker arrested near Kindu. This is probably from the Lomami national park. Let's remind you that Okapi is endemic to the DRC but now it's being killed for its meat, hide and fat. @okapiproject @Evebazaiba @IFAW @FaunaFloraInt @PoachingPrevent

[PoachingPrevention @PoachingPrevent]

Landela’s arrest highlights degree to which poaching syndicates hv infiltrated the ranks of prk officials & illustrates the trend in corrupting rangers through enticement or coercion. Since 2009 42 staff hv been dismissed due to alleged links to 🦏poaching

Going forward, rangers will be more important than ever as key workers in conserving ecosystems and protected areas for people, wildlife, climate, the economy, food security and health.
