Oltukai Conservancy

An Ol Tukai team of three colleagues left for Nairobi for two days to attend a training workshop that equipped them with knowledge on how to utilize the wildlife direct website and how to use the site to improve the Ol Tukai conservancy. They not only acquired necessary skills through the training, but also gained experience, exchanged ideas, adapted new formats, and established partnership.  The team, from Ol tukai conservancy, which comprises of Boniface, Parsanga and Patrick, came to learn the way forward so as to improve and facilitate the Conservancy, as well as connect it with others through the site.  We (the team) promise to be dedicated on how to search, link and manage all the operations of the conservancy website.

Lastly, the team wishes to give thanks to Wildlife Direct representatives and Dr. Richard Leakey, to Masumi for dedicating her time and knowledge, and to her colleagues for their kindness to allocate their valuable time and the resources as well.

  Thanks for your cooperation.

 Recently the Ol Tukai Conservancy anti-poaching team, in response to a report of gunshots on the southern section of the African Wildlife Foundation managed Manyara Ranch, discovered 4 carcasses of Zebra shot be .30 calibre rifes from vehicles. It can be asssumed that these were the animals that were wounded and fled the area as they were found @ 500 meters apart from each other.  It is unknown how many zebra were taken out of the area by the poachers as no evidence has been found or reports made as to the identity of the poachers. We saw no sign of skinning or dressing in the area and therefore make an educated guess that these zebra were shot for meat and not the skin trade.
