SUMMARY:Snares to Wares
DESCRIPTION:
 The Research on the Ecology of Carnivores and 
 their Prey Laboratory at MSU strives to develop 
 sustainable solutions for wildlife conservation 
 issues around the globe. RECaP's Snares 
 to Wares Initiative works to address the issue 
 of wire snaring through community-based conservation 
 methods. Wire snares pose a great 
 threat to the survival of large mammals in East 
 African National Parks. Through the Snares 
 to Wares Initiative, wires from these illegal 
 wildlife traps are removed from the parks and 
 transformed into art.  Two of the project's 
 artisans, Mutalib Ngomojik and Sophia Jingo, 
 are visiting campus from Uganda. Observe their 
 craft in person, and learn about the large 
 installation piece they are making on campus. 
 Talk about the initiative and research with 
 members of the RECaP team and build your own 
 wire creation.\n\n
