Details
Our Anti-Poaching Course is based upon extensive direct counter-poaching experience. It provides a theoretical, detailed background to the prevention of poaching, theft and mutilation of game animals, from a game reserve perspective. We explore what poaching and anti-poaching are and the 3 levels of poaching. We discuss the anti-poaching unit, how to set one up and the two main options to counter poaching: active & passive prevention. Examine poaching methods and the economics of poaching, anti-poaching equipment and the various anti-poaching action plans together with the legalities of anti-poaching. If you are a reserve owner, conservancy, wildlife or game farm manager; game ranger, game guide, game guard, trails guide or field guide or merely have an interest in this field, this course is for you.
