Anti-snaring information and support tools

Snare Free is a collaborative network of conservation, animal welfare, and volunteer organisations providing a coordinated response to snared wildlife incidents in the Western Cape. The Snare Free resource page includes information, guides, scientific publications, videos, and posters on how to prevent and combat hunting with snares.

Got removed snares? Donate them here:

Down to the Wire’s quest is to rework snares into uniquely hand crafted items as a symbol of life. Funds raised through the sale of these items are made available to wildlife veterinarians working across South Africa.

Found empty snares in the Cape provinces? Report data here:

Please take a photo and report it to the Cape Leopard Trust’s online Data Portal. You will need to provide the location and a photograph. Then carefully remove and dispose of the snare/s responsibly, so as to ensure that they cannot be used again.

More tools and links coming soon. If you have useful resources to share, please let us know!

Collaboration and partnerships are key in addressing the negative impacts from the illegal snaring of wildlife. Whether you are interested in joining SNAG, a researcher with insights and data to share, or someone who wants to support our mission – we would love to hear from you.
