Mondulkuri Province, Cambodia

A dramatic video just released by the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Cambodia Program shows a team of three WCS conservationists releasing a wild boar (Sus scrofa) caught in an illegally-set snare in Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary.

The team can be seen cutting down the snare attached to tree sapling. Then they remove the snare from the boar, which is seen breathing heavily. Eventually the boar jumps to its feet and chases one of the conservationists up a tree. The boar clicks its teeth and circles the tree before running into the forest. Wild boars have a powerful bite and can be extremely dangerous.

Around 10,000 snares have been removed from KSWS over the last 10 years. Snares are a huge issue across Southeast Asia, with an estimated 12 million snares present in the protected areas of Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam.

Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, formerly known as Seima Protection Forest, is home to more than 75 species of animal and plants on the global Red List that are threatened with extinction, according to the criteria of IUCN, the World Conservation Union.
