How do I join?
I am an American citizen, former Army Infantryman!
without eyes up in the sky it's a real maze for the guys on the ground drones and choppers will really help put and end to poaching
A drone would give away their position if poachers are in the area and unfortunaly a chopper can't be maintained there. Its too expensive. They would need a Hangar, Mechanic, Two Pilots, stuff for maintenance, kerosine,.... the list is endless. Then there is the point that they still can be shot down and you don't want to make an emergency landing in the bush trust me. It would be something else if it is a combat helicopter but again....too expensive in the long run. It sounds ridiculous because the big nations pump so much money into their Military and not into more important things like this one but this is the fucked up world we live.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace87 I think other Ranger organizations have their own fleets of aircraft. Not sure about this particular wildlife preserve, but others do.
A question for anyone that knows the answer (pls respond): what is the extent and level of training of these guys, i.e. would one need any background experience in for example a military setting or is the level and professionalism of training so high that it’s on par with a military level and no prior experience would be needed?
No prior experience, just a basic level of fitness
so basically south africa is in a little war with the poachers
God bless these men and women
Good job by anti poaching team
How do I sign up for this as a Canadian citizen?
Has anyone thought about using drones?
No because it gives away your position if there is poachers in the area. It's the same as if they would do this job with a clown costume.
We actually do use drones in certain situations.
how do we join.

Which APU company is this keen to join
Global Conservation Force. They do formations, if you are looking for a company in SA, take a look at Protrack, they are the most known, I believe. Also there is the Poaching Prevention Academy based in Italy and acting from Kenya to SA.
If you are in Europe, there is a training half done by the ESA in Poland and half done by the PPA in a reserve between Kenya and SA; internship in Africa can go from 2 week to 2 months depending on your availability.
Check out "Poaching Prevention Operator European Security Academy" and you'll find it.
Cheers, hope to see you
@@zyriab5797 you can suggest some organization who are based on Asia?
@@vladdracula9586 Sorry I don't know any. I'm still making researches but especially in East Africa... good luck :)
@@zyriab5797 thanks for replying mate, if anyone wants to joins anti-poaching unit then what should he do? And how much it may cost and how it will be as a carrier?
@@vladdracula9586 Many ways I guess. If you come from civilian world you need to find a course that is willing to accept civilian. If there's non such things where you are I'd say you need to train by yourself and in separate courses on medical training, tactical training (tactical shooting, hand-to-hand combat, strategy of ambushes and counter-ambushes, patrolling, etc), soft skills (tracking, camouflage, stalking, hiking, bushcraft, etc). You also need to be fit and all that. Basically you need a basic soldier training with specilisation in the environment you want to work in.
If you want to work in Laos Jungles, for instance, you need to know the biggest environmental threaths there, learn you way with them (animals, bugs and terrain specificities), also you need some knowledge on the flora, don't forget bushcraft and much more (take a look at the ESA course to have a basic idea)
After that I think it's important to have international qualifications. Check on the ESA website (EUSECA) their courses, they list some qualifications on some courses... that might be a good lead to start your researches.
Sorry I can't answer your question completely as I am merely training to become a Ranger. There's few informations and eventually you'll need to contact people and you'll know what they expect of you. From there you'll know what you need to work there.
As a carreer it's often volunteering for foreigners in Africa, although I guess it could be easier to have a payong job in this field if you are particularly skilled or smth like that.
As paying goes, in East Africa, the higher I've seen was around 700 USD... mayne it's more in South Africa or Zimbabwe...
It's usually not a well paying job for many reasons. there's a lot of info out there, all i've given you comes from reading comments, watching videos and searching on the web.
Good luck and good training ;)
How do i sign up?

How do you become a field ranger?
Start with going through a field ranger training course. There are alot of options. South african wildlife college, Gameways,Pro Trac, Tac trac etc. Most of the places will offer you a job after training or help you get a posting.
Having your firearm competencies sorted as well as PSIRA Level C will help speed up the process as well, but they go through that on the courses as well.
This is if You are an south african citizen.
Foreigners are by law not allowed to carry firearms in south africa. As a foreinger you can still do most of those courses though if You want some experience.
Let me know if You have more questions, happy to help
@@wf768 if you become a South African citizen would you be able to carry? I’m considering to do this when I turn 18
@@DirtyMikeandTheBoys69 any advice on this? Anti poaching is something I’m interested but my understanding was foreigners are not allowed to carry firearms, foreigners can only act as trainers/consultants in the anti-poaching fields. I’m in the US but would love to become a field ranger with the African Wildlife Defense Force.
@@DirtyMikeandTheBoys69 I’ve heard of VetPaw, their great but they only accept veterans as far as I’m aware. I’m looking at European Security Academy in Poland, they have an anti poaching course that, upon graduation, allows you to do an internship with an anti poaching unit.
