Because the materials to make snares are incredibly cheap to buy, you find them often in accessible wild areas. Wild life, like the young clouded leopard the place chief just bought in Kampot, pay the price. I understand that much of what is caught is considered bush meat, so they don't care if it loses a foot in the process, but having found injured animals myself, it feels more troubling and wasteful.
Does anyone know what the Government has done to make the risk of getting caught setting snares more expensive? How about simple possession?
Catching trappers takes just a few snares out of circulation, but encouraging them to turn in buyers further up the chain would be the real prize. Unfortunately, it wouldn't solve the problem, most of the snares I find are set near farm fields, set not primarily to sell caught animals but to stop wild animals reducing yields. Monkey's and squirrels stealing corn, porcupines digging up cassava, and etc,. etc.
How can Cambodia live with it's remaining wildlife?
Fine amount for forest snares?

Great answer. Cambodia isn't known for enforcing the laws fairly, looks at the logging laws. Stops people from cutting wood for cooking and building homes. Does shit to stop giant convoys of lumber trucks.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:19 pmSimples.Guest9999 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:26 amHow can Cambodia live with it's remaining wildlife?
