In conjunction with the Mtito desnaring team we patrol the area upstream of the Mtito River and were able to lift 41 small snares and 1 big snare.

We then moved our patrols to Kilalinda where we found a Dikdik trapped in a snare. We were able to rescue the Dikdik and free it from the snare. We also lifted 33 small snares in the area.
