Dear Supporters,
Some exciting news! The funds raised so far for anti-Rhino poaching will be used to pay for a brand new 4x4 vehicle that will be used as a dedicated anti-poaching vehicle on the Karongwe Private Game Reserve. The vehicle will become available immediately and will then be sent off for custom modification. This vehicle will do daily patrols of fence lines, checking for incursions and serving as a deterrent to potential poachers. The vehicle will also be a response vehicle in emergencies and will be capable of pursuing poachers off road. Not only will this vehicle help reduce the threat of Rhino poaching, but all forms of poaching and criminal activity targeting the reserve.
With a large deposit paid for the vehicle, the monthly payments for the vehicle will be reduced, improving the reserve’s cash flow, allowing the reserve to free up funds to employ new local staff members and afford more fuel to run the anti-poaching vehicle.
Photographs and report of the vehicle’s first deployment will be posted as soon as it arrives. Thank you for your support and we hope this will go some way to protecting the Rhino population on the reserve.
Kind Regards
Andreas Fox
Limpopo Program Coordinator
