Rangers removing tusks of an elephant with Anthrax



On the 10th of March we arrived at a very fresh dead elephant near Military Bush inside MNC. The elephant was not bleeding from its trunk, mouth, or ears and had a fetid wound on its back so we assumed it died from poison arrow. 5 days later two of our rangers whom removed the tusks contracted anthrax. They are now much better but we expect that their may be some dormant spores around the site where the elephant died.

Passing out parade


On the 6th of march 21 rangers completed their final graduating parade at the HQ. The District Commissioner was our guest of honor and 6 rangers were given hunting knives for: best marksman, discipline, neatness, best in fielid-crafts, best in academics and best overall. The parade was a great success and about 500 people attended the event from the community.
