SUMMARY
This report describes the law enforcement efforts and ranger patrols supervised by
WCS in Yankari Game Reserve for the period January to March 2015. Protection
levels continue to improve this quarter with the sustenance of four teams on weekly
camping patrol, as a result forty-three camping patrols were completed by rangers
during the period covering a total distance of 3,808 km. Thirty nine people were
arrested for various offences (ten poachers, sixteen grazers, two trophy dealers, and
eleven gum Arabic collectors). There was no crop raiding incidence reported
because all farms have been harvested. The battery on the first satellite collar fitted
to a Yankari elephant in October 2013 finally failed in March 2015. One elephant
carcass was recorded. The main problem facing Yankari is the shortage of funding
to repair the deplorable road network, organize more patrols and lack of reliable
vehicles to support ranger patrols.
Eleven people arrested in February who entered the reserve illegally to collect gum Arabic
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

All ranger patrols at Yankari Game Reserve are currently based on the
CyberTracker monitoring program, this year 2015 we plan to replace
CyberTracker with the new SMART software. For reasons of personal safety
rangers are only permitted to go on patrol provided that they are equipped
with a functional firearm and sufficient ammunition. This new standard has
reduced attacks on rangers by poachers but severely limits the number of
patrols that can be organized at any one time. Notwithstanding, a total of 43
patrols were organized during this period (see Appendices 1 and 2 for more
details). However, Map 1 clearly shows that some areas of the reserve did
not receive any protection at all this quarter. There is an urgent need to
increase the number of patrols to cover all areas of the reserve.

Lack of maintenance of the road network within the reserve over recent years
has resulted in massive deterioration such that many roads and bridges are
now impassable. The poor nature of the roads within the reserve makes it
2
extremely difficult to carryout efficient patrols. Furthermore the lack of reliable
patrol vehicles makes protection extremely difficult. The poor state of the
road network is also affecting tourism. Patrol vehicles can only drive through
a fraction of the reserve, many of the experienced poachers understand the
situation of our roads and bridges so they strategically do their poaching in
areas where they know that it will be very difficult for rangers to get them. The
situation of the road increases pressure on the limited vehicles available for
patrol. Our vehicles break down very often which not only increases cost and
burden of maintenance but affects efficiency and productivity.

Implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between WCS
and Bauchi State Government is faced with great challenges due to lack of
timely transfer of funds from Bauchi State Government to WCS.

The PowerChute helped us chase grazers and poachers from the reserve and
to locate the one elephant carcass recorded this quarter.

A group of Fulani grazers who resisted arrest mobilized to attack rangers with
bows and arrows. Rangers shot warning shots which got them scared. Four
were arrested and sent to the police headquarters in Bauchi. No ranger was
injured.

A group of eleven people with six motor cycles were arrested in the reserve.
They claimed to come in to collect gum-arabic. Similarly they were all sent to
police headquarters in Bauchi. Due to continuous rise in the security in this
part of the country, some of our cases are now transferred to the police
headquarters for proper investigation.

We have sustained sending out four teams on camping patrol each week, a
significant achievement with the limited funds and resources available.

Sunderland AFC and the Nuru Fund in collaboration with WCS provided solar
lamps to Yankari Rangers through "small customized loans" to help eradicate
the use of harmful kerosene lighting. This is a mission to replace traditional
kerosene lamps with safe and healthy solar lamps.
PATROL STRATEGY AND CAMPING PATROL SCHEDULE
Discipline among rangers has improved and is currently relatively good. The
strategy that all rangers on patrol must now possess a fully functional firearm and
sufficient ammunition is strictly enforced. Currently, we can only organize four
camping patrols each week and although this is a big improvement compared to
when only two or three patrols per week could be organized, it is still not enough. In
future, greater effort and attention is required towards firearm maintenance and more
regular repairs. WCS continues to look at ways in which the police based at Wikki
3
can be used to help support patrols, unfortunately they are reluctant to participate on
camping patrols and there are insufficient vehicles available to support both camping
and daily patrols.
At the moment, the Police Hilux, WCS Hilux and the old 4x4 Ford truck are the only
vehicles available to support the rangers. These vehicles break down frequently
which creates bottle neck to maximize human resources. Four teams consisting of
six-seven rangers per team are sent out on camping patrol each week. There are no
fixed camping locations, instead rangers continuously change their overnight location
both to increase the area covered but also to minimize the risk of the camp being
discovered by poachers and attacked. Due to insufficient firearms and vehicles,
rangers based at the ranger stations on the edge of the reserve are no longer
allowed to go on patrol. This is necessary to avoid further loss of life by rangers.
Appendix 1 summarizes the patrol data for the quarter.
PATROL EFFORT
In Map 1, the darker part of the grid map indicates areas that have been more
frequently patrolled, the grey portion represent areas that were less patrolled while
the un-shaded parts of the grid represents areas that were not patrolled. Some
areas of the reserve were not patrolled at all, leaving hunters free to operate in these
areas without fear of arrest. However, the area coverage has improved compared to
the previous quarter.

ELEPHANT CONSERVATION
This quarter elephant activity recorded was concentrated around the centre of the
reserve (see Map 2 and 3 below). One elephant carcass was recorded. Elephant
activity recorded while on patrol was concentrated around the Gaji River. With the
aid of the powerchute, one elephant carcass was recorded during the reporting
period. There was no crop raiding incidence reported because all farms have been
harvested.

LION CONSERVATION
There were several lion sightings recorded, more around the centre of the reserve
and a few scattered (see Map 4 below). There were reports of lion roaring around
Wikki.

ALL OTHER MAMMAL SIGHTINGS
Various other large mammals were sighted within the reserve (see Map 5 below)
including baboons, waterbuck, roan antelope, buffalo, hartebeest, patas monkey,
tantalus monkey, bushbuck and warthog.

HUNTING EVIDENCE
Hunting signs recorded this quarter are shown in Map 6 below. We believe that
poaching activity has reduced but remains a significant problem. With very limited
resources available we maintained the current patrol strategy which targets
vulnerable areas rather than try to cover the entire reserve. This strategy has also
enabled us to focus more attention on the elephant herd containing the elephant
fitted with satellite collar.

LIVESTOCK GRAZING
The frequency of cattle grazing has significantly reduced. However this remains a
huge issue and a growing long-term problem that requires attention from government
for a more sustainable solution. Zero tolerance towards cattle found inside the
reserve has proved to be effective reducing the number of cattle sighted. However
enforcing a zero tolerance policy is difficult with limited resources (vehicles and
firearms) and it has been difficult to combat grazing and poaching at the same time.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Thirty nine people were arrested for various offences (ten poachers, sixteen grazers,
two trophy dealers, eleven gum Arabic collectors). See Map 8 below and
Appendices 3 and 4 for more details. Most of the Fulani herders arrested were
under age and cannot be sent to jail. It became necessary to transfer some cases to
Police State Headquarters in Bauchi due to rising insecurity in this part of the
country. These fines are relatively small for Fulani herdsmen and do not serve as an
effective deterrent against illegal livestock grazing within the reserve. The Yankari
special protection law dating from 1989 which specifies that anyone arrested inside
Yankari goes to prison for six months, without any option of fine. If implemented, this
law would serve as a more effective deterrent against illegal livestock grazing and
would reduce the need to shoot cows. However there are many who would likely not
want to see this law implemented.

CHALLENGES FACED
The inability of the Bauchi State Government to fulfil its obligation and contribute its
financial obligation in full to WCS continues to be a major challenge. Continued
delay of the necessary funds is jeopardizing the long-term future of Yankari, and
irreparable damage may result if the situation is allowed to continue. Lack of
maintenance of the road network within the reserve over recent years has resulted in
massive deterioration such that many roads and bridges are now impassable. The
nature of the road within the reserve makes it extremely difficult to carryout efficient
patrols. Furthermore the lack of reliable patrol vehicles makes protection extremely
difficult. The poor state of the road network is also affecting tourism. Patrol vehicles
can only drive through a fraction of the game reserve; many of the experienced
poachers understand the situation of our roads and bridges so they strategically do
their poaching in areas where they know that it will be very difficult to get them. The
situation of the road increases pressure on the limited vehicles available for patrol.
Our vehicles break down very often which not only increases the cost and burden of
maintenance but affects efficiency and productivity.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Bauchi State Government to contribute its counterpart funding in full and on
time to enable activities to be carried out effectively. Unless this is done the
reserve will deteriorate.
2. Repair the road network and broken bridges in the reserve for more effective
patrolling and wildlife protection.
3. Purchase additional vehicles to provide essential support for patrol and
monitoring/supervision.
4. Purchase additional firearms to increase patrol coverage.
5. Continue to strictly enforce the zero tolerance approach to livestock grazing
inside the reserve.
6. Review the Bauchi State wildlife law and strengthen the existing penalties.
7. Liaise with the State Security Service to ensure that all wanted poachers are
arrested and brought to trial.
8. Provide refresher training for rangers for more effective law enforcement,
particularly weapons handling and shooting practice.
9. All poachers and herders arrested should be prosecuted using the 1989
special protection law. Removing the option of fines reduces opportunities for
corruption and serves as a more effective deterrent.
10. Maintain a good working relationship with the police, army, SSS, magistrates
and other government officials.
