Hierdie 4 week oue renoster wou blykbaar sy ma beskerm teen pouchers wat sy ma aangeval het. Hy is in die voorval beseer...maar sy ma het dit ongelukkig nie gemaak nie. Hartseer....

Dit is absoluut walglik wat die gevoellose mense aan ons natuur doen.

Alles oor geld. Hoop die wiel draai vinnig.

Daar word baie meer gsdoen as wat ons van weet, gloe my maar.

Goeie nuus om te hoor. 

Dankie vir die info. 

Skande!!!! Hartseer!!!!😤😭😢

Skande!!!! Hartseer!!!!😤😭😢

In North-West there is a farmer that has 1600 Rhino which he uses to breed .   He is apparently on the verge of bancrupcy and has to cancel the security team that guards the Rhinos.   So sad.

Al 31 in 6jaar vasgetrek....hoeveel meer is daar nie wat nog nie vasgetrek is nie!? Ek wonder watse opleiding hierdie manne gehad het. Iemand wat in daai rigting studeer het n groot liefde vir diere en sal beslis nie sulke dinge aanvang nie.....klink meer of hulle aangestel word in n posisie waarvoor hulle nie bevoegd is nie - is mos maar net nog n job.... Mens sien ook hoe sommiges van hulle daar rond jaag in die wildtuin...geen respek vir natuur of diere nie - as n dier dood gery word is dit seker ook maar net so :-{

Die dae wat mense 'n werk doen omdat dit vir hulle 'n passie is, is baie min of lankal verby.  Geld is die hoof dryf middel.  Sommige wat in die wildtuine werk as bewaarders is daar weens 'n geleentheid wat op 'n stadium na hom toe gekom het.

Die wat gestudeer het om daar te wees is seker 'n ander saak.

Ai dis darem maar walglik om te sien wat aan die diere gedoen word.

Ai ek wens so....................................... maar dan sal ek seker eendag in die hel beland.

Ek het nou met die laaste lang naweek in Phalaborwa n draai gemaak. Ek het reg by die hek 3 geweer skote hoor af gaan binne in die wild tuin. In al die jare wat ek na die wild tuin toe gaan het ek dit nog nooit gehoor. Dit vreemd gevind en skakel dadelik die hek by Phalaborwa om dit te raporteer. Omtrent n uur lank gesukkel met geen sukses om met iemand daar te praat. Ek kry toe die nood nommer van Skukuza op die internet en probeer met iemand daar die skote te raporteer. Geen sukses met n antwoord masjien wat met my praat

 Los toe 3 boodskappe en versoek dat ek geskakel moet word om ten minste die area van die skote uit te wys. Ek wag nou nog vir daardie oproep van Kruger wildtuin tuin. 

Nou dink ek die volgende. Eerstens as ek en my familie daar hulp, bystand in nood nodig het is ek en my op ons eie gelaat en in groot moeilikheid. Wat stropery betref dink ek na al my moeite dit is net Jan publiek wat regtig ernstug oor die saak is.

Ek aanvaar geen verskoning dat niemand die fone antwoord by Phalaborwa hek en ook Skukuza nie reageer op die boodskappe wat ek gelos het en selfs die nood nommer ook nie beman was. Verduidelik hierdie paraatheid om ons wild te beskerm selfs ons veiligheid te verseker tydens n besoek aan die park.

Jy moet onthou solank as wat die telefoon net lui is dit nie nodig om te werk nie. Jy sit net en kyk vir hom terwyl hy lui.

Maar oooooooooo weeeeeee as jy hom antwoord dan moet jy werk so....................????

My broer het nou teruggekom van n 2weke besoek aan Satara. Hy het 4 van die big5 op n gereelde basis gesien....maar nie een renoster nie....dit raak al hoe meer besonders om hulle te sien omdat hul steeds met n vinnige spoed afgemaai word

Mooi foto....

Wil graag hier verskil.

Een van die groter renoster stropers in die suide van die Kruger park, is na 26 renosters doodgemaak is vir hulle neushorings, so 6-8 jaar gelede gevang.

Hy was die senior bewaarder in die area! 'n Gestudeerde mens, ons kerk se mens. Hy was die binnebrein agter die stropery.

Had Afrikaanse van.

So, dit gaan oor geld en gierigheid.

Dankie vir julle goeie werk!

Ek moet darem sê dat die Satara-omgewing nog nooit een van die beter renoster-areas in die park was nie. Sonder om name te noem, daar is areas waar dit ondenkbaar is om nie renosters te sien nie.

Media Release: Kruger National Park rangers arrest 23 poaching suspects in 18 days and confiscate 12 high calibre rifles

06 August 2018

South African National Parks today announced the arrest of 23 suspected rhino poachers in the Kruger National Park (KNP) since Thursday, 19 July 2018, a day when the Rangers Corps lost a colleague in a contact with a poaching group. Respect Mathebula became the second Ranger casualty since 1958 involving a poacher contact in the KNP. 

The Managing Executive of the KNP, Glenn Phillips commended the work of the Rangers saying they are resilient in the aftermath of the tragic loss of a colleague “the arrests are a sign that the Spirit of Respect is being honoured by the Rangers Corps. Further to this, the fact that no poachers were wounded or killed in these contacts is a clear demonstration of the professionalism and discipline that embodies our Ranger Corps. 

There has been relentless poacher activity since his passing, with 156 activities reported and that includes contacts. We are still making a plea to our neighbouring communities to help us in this fight by exposing those who are exploiting their children, husbands and relatives to illegally hunt rhino. These people do not have the welfare of the communities at heart but are criminals without a conscience and they need to be put behind bars for a long time for their criminal acts” said Phillips. 

The 23 arrested suspects were also in possession of 10 high calibre rifles and poaching equipment. They will be facing charges related to poaching and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition. 

Dis goeie nuus dat vordering gemaak word. Dalk net die tip van die ysberg maar vordering is gemaak.

Hoop die wetgewer sal behoorlike straf toepas

Ja dis nou die ander ding of kant van die saak.

Ons het afgelope naweek op hierdie afgekom by Pilanesberg....Dis hartseer om dit te sien😭😢

So onnodige vermoring van ons natuur en uitwissing van hulpbronne wat ons ander graag wil bewonder

Poucher aangeval deur olifant...dood. click op hierdie L I N K  vir berig 

Daar is hordes fonds insamelaars vir renoster stropery. Dit is beslis n baie kretieke saak en beslis het die saak ondersteuning nodig.

Maar: . Hoe weet ons waar eindig daardie geld op en vir wat. Hoe word die geld aangewend en is daar state om na te kyk indien nodig. Vir gee jy geld en wie nie. Wie vang stropers en wie vang vir ons. As die regering biljoene laat verdwyn hoe veilig is ons geld by teen stroper organisasies. Dalk moet die organisasies meer duidelikheid gee oor wat aan gaan. Soos ek dit sien is daar mense in winkel sentrums wat geld insamel of waar ook al en wat dan? Die volgende ding wat ek op nuus sien ons vang nie stropers maar wel ons eie wagters. Hoor ook nooit of hulle by die huis sit, by die werk sit of in die tronk sit. As ek oningelig is hoeveel ander wat wil bydra is oningelig.

Ek reken konsolidasie van fondsinsameling operasies is nodig sodat nie elke jan raap en sy maat 'n "fonds" kan bedryf nie.

Mens het net een so iets nodig.

CANSA kry dit reg om met een organisatoriese struktuur van meestal vrywilligers regoor die land fondse te in. En dit word ouditeer en rapporteer.

Media Release: 259 Rhino Poached in South Africa in First Six Months of 2022 02 August 2022 A total of 259 rhino have been poached for their horn in South Africa in the first six months of 2022. "Recent trends in rhino poaching show a move away from the Kruger Park to private reserves and KwaZulu-Natal where the majority of rhinos have been killed this year. This makes it all the more important for the national government to shift its focus to supporting provincial authorities and private reserves in the war on rhino poaching" said the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Ms Barbara Creecy. The number of rhino poached between January and June 2022 is 10 more than the 249 poached countrywide in the first six months of 2021. From January to the end of June 2022, 82 rhino were poached for their horns in the Kruger National Park. 2022 Poaching statistics show a loss of 210 rhino on state properties and 49 in privately-owned parks. As indicated, the hardest hit during this period is KwaZulu-Natal which recorded a loss of 133 rhino. This is more than triple the 33 rhino killed in the first six months of 2021. The demand for rhino horn remains a constant threat to our rhino populations as crime syndicates continue to operate within our borders. The number of successful arrests and prosecutions recorded over the past six months can be attributed to the continued successful collaboration between the law enforcement agencies, including the SAPS, DPCI and the Green Scorpions, Customs officials and the National Prosecuting Authority. These efforts are supported by private security. Partnerships between the public and private sectors remain key to combating wildlife trafficking. In addition to work being undertaken within the seven Integrated Wildlife Zones, the partnership now includes both the financial and transport sectors, as well as transit and end-user countries in Southeast Asia, especially with the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Vietnam. Between January and June, 69 people were arrested in connection with rhino poaching and rhino horn trafficking. Of these, 13 alleged poachers were arrested in the Kruger National Park. As a result of the ongoing work of integrated enforcement teams at OR Tambo International Airport, four alleged rhino horn traffickers were arrested between January and June this year for trying to smuggle 56 pieces of rhino horn out of the country. In one instance, cooperation between the Hawks, Malaysia and Qatar authorities led to the arrest of another alleged rhino horn trafficker and his haul of rhino horn pieces at Doha Airport in Qatar. This arrest demonstrates the success of country-to-country cooperation to combat wildlife trafficking at an international level. The Hawks are also working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in an investigation arising from the discovery in June of a suspect parcel at FedEx that was destined for the USA. The parcel contained 8 kilograms of rhino horns pieces concealed as wooden art pieces. A number of search and seizure operations took place countrywide, with the Hawks arresting one suspect and confiscating 29 rhino horn during an operation at storage and packing facilities in Bedfordview where rhino horns are prepared and packed for the illegal markets in Southeast Asia. In combined law enforcement operations two suspects were arrested in June when they were stopped by the Highway Patrol in Bedfordview and found to be in possession of two fresh rhino horn. Two suspects, one an ex-Ezemvelo-KZN Parks ranger, were arrested earlier this month after their vehicle was searched and two fresh rhino horn were seized. One of the accused had previously been arrested for possession of rhino horn in the Kruger National Park. On 23 April 2022 an integrated operation was conducted to address money laundering and corruption linked to rhino horn trafficking activities within the Kruger National Park. Various search and seizure warrants were authorised and executed at multiple premises in and around the Park with the aim of effectively dismantling the operations of some of the main targets. A multi-dimensional team led by the Hawks, with the support of the Kruger National Park and Stock Theft and Endangered Species in Skukuza was assembled and premises in Limpopo and Mpumalanga were searched during the operation. Three suspects were arrested during the operation, which included two Kruger National Park field rangers. The arrests and the success of this operation had a significant impact on the rhino poaching activities within Kruger Park and have sent out a strong message that corrupt and illegal activities will not be tolerated. One of the rangers was dismissed during the departmental hearing on 21 July 2022. The other ranger's departmental hearing is ongoing pending the outcome of the court process. In total 51 cases in which 51 people were convicted have been finalised. The heaviest sentence handed down was 34 years imprisonment, while two Mpumalanga men were sentenced to 28 years behind bars for killing rhino and being in possession of illegal firearms and ammunition. In the Skukuza court, two Mozambican nationals were convicted for poaching a rhino in the Kruger National Park, possession of unlawful firearms and ammunition and being in the country illegally. They were sentenced to 18 years imprisonment. In another matter, two Mozambican citizens were convicted of poaching two rhino in Kruger National Park, possession of unlawful firearms and ammunition and sentenced to 19 years imprisonment. In addition, three South Africans were sentenced on charges of rhino poaching in the Kruger National Park and firearm-related charges, and sentenced to an effective 24 years in jail. The global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), completed an assessment in 2019 of the threats posed to South Africa, and the effort being made to fight these crimes. During this process, the contribution of wildlife trafficking to the generation of proceeds of crime was found to pose a medium to high risk to the country. Responding to the recommendations of FATF, earlier this year, the National Prosecuting Authority obtained its first conviction on stand-alone charges in terms of Section 6 of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (money laundering). In this matter, the individual was accused of laundering the money earned from, amongst others the buying of rhino horn, through a casino. Ping Wu was sentenced to five years imprisonment. The success of this prosecution demonstrates the importance of the government's integrated approach to combat rhino horn trafficking, with an increased focus on targeting the financial crimes involved. We are expecting numerous similar successes in the near future. To mark World Ranger Day, Minister Creecy last week paid special tribute to field and game rangers working in conservation areas countrywide for their continued commitment to protecting South Africa's iconic species from poaching. "Following the murder earlier this week of well-known anti-poaching field Ranger, Anton Mzimba, at his home in the Timbavati, we are reminded of the threats that rangers face from poachers and their crime bosses on a daily basis. These are men and women that deserve our respect and support as we join hands to improve their safety," said the Minister. In May, Kruger National Park field ranger and dog handler,
