Rangers find 109,217 snares in a single park in Cambodia!

Snares – either metal or rope – are indiscriminately killing wildlife across Southeast Asia, from elephants to mouse deer. The problem has become so bad that scientists are referring to protected areas in the region as “empty forests.”

The snaring crisis is worst in Vietnam and Laos, but is increasing in Cambodia as well as Myanmar, Indonesia and Thailand. In some places – even protected areas – it is so bad that hunters have literally stripped the ecosystem of all medium-to-large animals!

The situation is unbearable for these poor dear wild animals, rangers routinely find animals dead in them, often rotted before the hunters return. Snares are ruthless and terrifing mutilators and killers:,

Please sign this petition and I will do my very best to bring it to the attention of the Government departments in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand responsible for animal wellfare.
