We recently rescued a baby waterbuck from a dangerous situation. This little girl was caught in a snare, which is a trap often set by poachers. Snares are very dangerous because they can hurt or kill any animal that gets caught in them.

The Rescue of a Baby Waterbuck from a Deadly Snare
When we found Luna, she was frightened and in pain. Snares are designed to catch animals by the neck or legs, causing severe injuries or a slow, painful death. These traps are indiscriminate, meaning any animal, including endangered species, can fall victim to them.
Our team immediately provided her with the medical attention she needed. We carefully removed the snare and treated her wounds to prevent infection. We then brought her to a safe environment where she could begin to heal, both physically and emotionally.
The scar on her neck serves as a permanent reminder of how narrowly she escaped death, but it also shows how strong she is and gives us hope for her future. Now that she is with us, she is getting the food, shelter, and love she needs to heal and grow stronger.
Luna’s story highlights the importance of our work and the positive impact we can have on the lives of animals. By supporting us, you help us save more animals from similar dangers and give them a second chance at life.
