illegal hunting of game meat in Dakatcha - Marafa.
Category: Forest surveys, Forest wildlife, Poaching wildlife | Date: Dec 02 2008 | By: davidngala
David Ngala accompanied Albert Baya of A Rocha Kenya to survey the Clarke weaver nests in Marafa. Marafa is located north of Arabuko- Sokoke forest in the Brachystegia woodland. This is where the weavers prefer to nest and feed. Dakatcha woodland is the main breeding site for the weaver. It is approximately 29 Kilometres from Sokoke forest.
The main problem in Dakatcha woodland is charcoal burning and hunting of game meat. David was able to find some young duikers that were hunted and sold illegally.
Duiker meat, hanged to be sold illegally.

Happy new year David and thanks for all your efforts in working towards the preservation of ASF. i was down there over the festive season with chege (Birdwatching) but sadly missed an opportunity to meet you and make acquaintance. i am very interested in working with people on bushmeat issues. i interacted with some people at watamu and realized that bushmeat is a problem down there as it is everywhere else across Kenya and eastern Africa. i met Tsofa of Arocha whom chege kindly introduced to me. hope that you will continue raising awareness on this high priority conservation issue and that together we can be able to protect what is remaining of our wildlife. looking forward to staying in touch with you on this and other conservation issues facing us today.
Thanks.
