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.
