Yesterday. Near Stormsriver. This beautiful male leopard died in a Snare. Both hind Legs were chewed off by a snare. As a result he died, a brutal way to die. 😞

What chance do these animals have?

The key threats are all ongoing and include habitat loss and fragmentation, prey depletion, conflict with people, unsustainable trophy hunting, poaching for skins and body parts, and indiscriminate killing.

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

We are heartbroken to share the news that PAMS Foundation co-founder, Wayne Lotter was shot and killed last night in the Masaki District of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Wayne devoted his life to Africa’s wildlife, from working as a ranger in his native South Africa as a young man to leading the charge against poaching in Tanzania. Wayne cared deeply about the people and animals that populate this world. In 2009, he teamed up with Krissie Clark and Ally Namangaya to form the PAMS Foundation. Together they worked tirelessly with communities in Tanzania to protect the country’s wildlife.

Wayne believed communities were the best protectors of the continent’s animals. Through his work with PAMS he helped train thousands of village game scouts in every corner of the country. His ground-breaking work in developing an intelligence-based approach to anti-poaching helped successfully reverse the rampant rates of poaching facing Tanzania.

Wayne’s charm, brilliance and eccentric sense of humour gave him the unique ability to make those around him constantly laugh and smile. He died bravely fighting for the cause he was most passionate about.

Wayne leaves behind his wife Inge, daughters Cara Jayne and Tamsin, and parents Vera and Charles Lotter. We all grieve with his family, colleagues and friends. His legacy will continue in our work.

Tanzanian police have launched an investigation into his death.

The World Conservation Congress is calling on South Africa to ban the hunting of lions bred in captivity.
A new report into hunting found that every year tens of thousands of animals are killed for their value as "trophies". South Africa is the biggest exporter of animal heads whilst the US is the biggest importer.
