Description
Donate towards a Tactical Backpack for a Anti-Poaching Unit Ranger.
We invite you to help the heroes on the ground, the brave men and women in the Kapama Private Game Reserve’s anti-poaching unit who help us protect our elephant herd, as well as the wild elephants and other wildlife we share our home with. You can donate a backpack to a ranger, to assist them with their selfless and dedicated duty in the bush, as they ensure poachers do not take the lives of the animals we are working to protect.
HERD is situated in the Kapama Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger Area, and we are guarded by a dedicated anti-poaching unit that works with the police, the CIS in the Kruger National Park, and several other anti-poaching units.
The Kapama APU patrols the high-risk areas of the reserve, conducting daily foot patrols to look for traps and poachers. It also regularly conducts occupational safety inspections. Our APU has been using tracking dogs as part of its anti-poaching initiative to combat poaching. The canine unit includes Bloodhounds and Belgian Malinois dog breeds, which have been trained to track potential poachers.
Not much is known about the brave women and men operating within the Kapama APU. This anonymity is ensured to protect them and their families. We wish them continued success in their fight against poaching, and we thank them for their incredible, selfless work.
