A team of experts from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), led by Dr. Richard Samson, successfully rescued a young elephant that had been trapped by a snare set by poachers along the Ruhudji River in the Kilombero Wildlife Reserve, located in Malinyi District, Morogoro Region, approximately 400 kilometers from Morogoro Municipality. The snare, made of a strong rope, had captured the elephant’s front leg, endangering its life and causing severe pain.
