#WildographyUganda Presents #RhinoFriday shout out from our friends at @snarestowares A big thank you to the IUCN @redlist_of_ecosystems for supporting their work in #Uganda with a generous grant that will enable artisans to create wildlife sculptures out of snares. In their words “In these very difficult times, we are proud of this partnership to save people's livelihood and wildlife.” PIC: Black rhino sculpture (9 inches high X 21 inches long) made by Odaga Nobert. Sculpture is made entirely out of snare wire recovered from Murchison Falls National Park. @snarestowares #SnaresForWares, an initiative dedicated to reducing wildlife poaching in Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park through human empowerment and community development, in and around the village of Pakwach. Featured here are: Wire sculptures of rhino [9" × 22"] made by Peris Jawoko and Ivan Rwothmiyo based at Pakwach. Crafts created from repurposed wire snares to save wildlife Available on order with international shipping. <snarestowares@gmail.com> It suggested that in Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park, poachers set more illegal wildlife snares per square kilometre than anywhere else in the world, (according to the Wiley Online Library). @snarestowares employs local people to transform recovered snares into intricate sculptures of wildlife. The fantastic project was co-founded by conservation biologist Tutilo Mudumba, employs 620 artisans and typically sells more than 800 sculptures a month, mainly to U.S customers.
