Talal strives to prevent the poaching of all wildlife – including thousands of migrating elephants, a growing lion population, and critically endangered Eastern black rhinos – within our area of operation.
Anti-poaching was Talal Life's initial conservation priority and continues to be the primary mission focus for our organization: to stop illegal wildlife crimes and arrest poachers.
Talal rangers conduct extensive daily patrols on foot and by vehicle to gather intelligence, detect and intercept illegal activity, monitor activity via hidden field cameras, and use the latest night-vision and GPS technology to thwart poachers and prevent habitat destruction. Working alongside Kenya Wildlife Service and our vast network of informers from local communities, Talal rangers are able to prevent most instances of poaching and successfully apprehend poachers who do manage to kill. Once poachers are apprehended, we work with local prosecutors to ensure that they are punished to the fullest, and most appropriate, extent of the law.
