Said Budhul has been involved in conservation for as long as he can remember. Before joining mainstream conservation, Said used to disseminate wildlife and poacher information to the KWS field base at Arawale National reserve. This information came by him through the many livestock migrations he did within the hirola rangelands. At the inception of Bura East Conservancy, Said Budhul was brought on board as the ranger in charge of the anti poaching team at Hirola Conservation Program. His wealth of knowledge in this field has seen his team collect close to 200 snares since the conservancy’s inception.
