Poachers caught
I thought others may be interested in the news I received today from Lewa about 4 poachers caught just north of the Conservancy between Il Ngwesi, Lewa and Samburu. Apparently they were after rhino and elephant and with poaching on the rise these arrests are a good news story. One of the poachers has been on KWS's most wanted list for some time. All are of Somali origin. I don't know whether the news is on the lewa website yet.

Arrests?
Did they actually survive to make it to custody?
