   The Ol Tukai Anti-Poaching team needs desperate Help from Donors! In the last few weeks Cash for The Team has been particulary low and we need help paying for several things out at The Ol Tukai Conservancy.

   First, the Petrol for our Anti-Poaching 109 Land Rover has been all but used up and current petrol prices in Tanzania have effected our overall Budget per month for the conservancy. Also we are in need of money to help pay for a new clutch and a basic tune up from a professional Mechanic for the old Landy.

  Maintaining our vehicle is not the only trouble facing the Team at the moment. The conservancy needs help paying for our Anti poaching Salaries. Several Members of our team have needed help with medical expenses in the last few weeks, ailing from problems such as malaria to team members with very sick children, adding to an already heavy burden placed financially on the Conservancy and the families of the Anti-Poaching Team.

   Donations would be greatly appreciated by the Anti-poaching Team and The Ol Tukai Conservancy. Without your help, the team must cover a Huge area of over 60,000 Acres On foot, giving them a huge disadvantage to our Anti-Poaching Efforts. Now is the high season at Ol Tukai for Poaching! Thank you for any help you can provide.

 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.
