According to the British "Sun" reported on January 25, 2020, a group of Ugandan wildlife was recently brutally captured by local poachers. In one of the photos, a female lion is almost split in half by a metal wire, and the tragic picture is heartbreaking.

The picture shows the metal wire of the trapper tightly strapped deep into the lioness's torso, and her life condition is critical. Fortunately, the lioness was eventually rescued by Uganda Nature Conservation Foundation rescuers, and she survived. At present, the staff is trying to carefully remove the metal wire that has been strangled into its torso.
In addition, there are also photos showing chai giraffes and African elephants in Uganda's Murchison Falls National Park looking for food in the park, also trapped by poacher traps, severely cut legs by metal wires, and eventually captured by them. According to the British "Metropolis" newspaper, the number of this Ugandan Chai's giraffe is currently less than 2,000, has entered the threshold of endangered species, and the rapid decline in the number has prompted African and British animal charities to start some urgent action.

Animal groups, Send Cattle and Tusk, are pooling resources for the Living with Wildlife fundraising project to help eradicate poverty in Uganda, which is the leading cause of poaching in the region. The donation campaign they launched aims to raise enough money to help more than 7,000 local families learn sustainable ways to make a living. The UK government will double the amount of donations received for the project by 14 April 2020.

Paul Stuart, ceo of Animals For Cattle, said: "We must teach local residents to use some tools and some labor knowledge to help them eradicate poverty. Not only will this help local families improve their lives, but it will also reduce poaching cases. People can donate to the Habitat with Wildlife fundraiser while helping people and protecting endangered species. ”

Dan Bucknell, a spokesman for The Tusks, added: "This will make Murchison Falls National Park a place where wildlife and humans can coexist peacefully and pass on from generation to generation." ”
International Development Minister Alok Sharma said: "I am grateful to the UK Government for its assistance in providing the 'Living with Wildlife' programme to help build sustainable businesses in Uganda and protect the country's unique natural environment. ”

At present, in the face of increasing wildlife poaching, countries around the world are working together to combat wildlife poaching and trade. For individuals, protecting the environment in which we live and rejecting the wildlife trade is within the reach of each of us, otherwise the sins we commit against nature may one day be eaten back into ourselves in ways we did not expect.
