In 1999 and 2000 the Anne K. Taylor Fund participated in and supported rescues of several elephants and giraffe. The Anne K. Taylor Fund decided to undertake a thorough assessment of the poaching pressure and immediately address the issue with active snare sweeps and patrols. In addition, they have established an injured animal reporting system among the drivers and guides in the lodges. This will enable them to quickly find and treat injured animals in conjunction with the Kenya Wildlife Service. Theit assessment of the level of poaching in the Masai Mara (conducted between September and November 2000) revealed a problem that will require continuous patrols and snare removal projects to protect the wildlife. They hope that their continued antipoaching and desnaring projects will reduce the need for wildlife rescues. Until that time, they continue to sponsor and actively take part in wildlife rescues in the Masai Mara with the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Mara Conservancy.
