Terms of use

Last updated 7 October 2026.

This website is run by Snare Aware, a volunteer non-profit organisation registered in South Africa (NPO 251-337). By using it you agree to these terms.

Information on this site

We publish this site to raise awareness of illegal snaring. We try to keep it accurate and up to date, but it is provided as general information only and without any guarantee. It is not a substitute for advice from conservation authorities, veterinarians or the police.

Your safety

Poaching is a crime and the people involved can be dangerous, as can trapped or injured animals. Nothing on this site asks you to put yourself at risk. Do not confront suspected poachers and do not approach a trapped animal. If you act on anything you read here, you do so at your own risk.

Donations are voluntary and are used to support our work. Payments are processed by third parties (BackaBuddy, Zapper or your bank) under their own terms.

Links to other sites

We link to other websites for your convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Snare Aware and its volunteers are not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of this website or reliance on its content.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
