Mission Statement

To engage communities and deliver resources to protect vulnerable and endangered species from poaching.

Approach

We aim to prevent poaching through a combination of capacity building our in-country partners anti-poaching units, and rolling out projects that will benefit economically marginalised park adjacent communities.

Commitment

Poaching Prevention is committed to donating tech and delivering training to enhance the ability of anti-poaching units (APUs) to build databases on the movement of poachers and their target species; to funding canine APUs; and to community upliftment.

Strategy

Counter Poaching

•    Donate technology, software and equipment 

•    Provide training in the operation of specialist tech

•    Donate conservation/security dogs and handler training for canine APUs 

Community engagement

•    Engender compassion and care for wildlife by reconnecting local communities with nature through - free field trips to local parks and reserves for children and young adults, school visits to teach students about wildlife and the benefits of a healthy ecosystem, volunteer opportunities, career taster days, and bursaries for training/qualifications in wildlife law enforcement.
