Wire snares are set by poachers in the African bush to capture prey species for the illegal bushmeat trade. Wire snares are indiscriminate and are just as likely to kill endangered animals as they are the target species. Anti-poaching units remove snare wire to try to stop this illegal trade. Indigenous artisans in local communities transform the deadly wire snares into works of art. The sale of these pieces of art help protect species in the wild and provide a livelihood for indigenous people
