"We've had 7 poached elephants in the last month which has been devastating - so much poaching happening now and it all seems to be around the access route of this new road. Wilson is now riding transects up and down the road three times a week recording all the dead animals being killed on the road and he is now our chief informer for what is going on with poaching and bush meat incidents."
