在肯尼亚拯救斑马是怎样一种体验？
2015年6月1日早上，非洲环保组织ANAW（非洲爱护动物组织）在肯尼亚内瓦沙湖附近的志愿者营地又迎来了一拨野保志愿者。对于经常组织志愿者在这里清除盗猎者捕兽陷阱的ANAW来说，这一次的志愿者有些特殊：30个人的志愿者团体里，有16名是经由中南屋组织来的中国人。不出意外的话，这是在非洲的中国人第一次参加这种类型的野保志愿者工作。 在肯尼亚大草原集合并趁着没干活形象比较好拍了张集体照后，大家开始三两分开，在草原上寻找这次清扫行动的目标：捕兽铁丝陷阱。 铁丝陷阱往往在丛林里野兽常走的小道上布置，动物一旦踩入或者脖子套入，越挣扎就会越紧。 发现了铁丝陷阱后，我们的志愿者会用钳子剪断它们，并且尽量带走。 铁丝陷阱我们看到了两种：一种是细铁丝，在树丛里。另一种是粗铁丝，埋在水源附近的地里，动物一旦踩入，再也无法挣脱。对于后者，志愿者们需要通过挖掘来排除。 你是不是觉得这些铁丝网造成不了多少伤害？ 你错了。
