Unitrans Volkswagen donates to anti-poaching
Happy hounds and happy rangers - a significant contribution toward anti-poaching efforts was recenlty made by Unitrans Volkswagen.
SKUKUZA – Well-trained and equipped field rangers are the most significant weapons in the war against poaching. This is one of the reasons why Unitrans Volkswagen established the Unite against Poaching initiative.
A new 4 x 4 Volkswagen Amarok was handed over to the Kruger National Park (KNP) by Kevin Gillmer, Divisional Chief Executive of Unitrans Volkswagen, to Major General Johan Jooste recently. According to the vehicle manufacturer, thos confirmed their sustained commitment to ensuring that field rangers have the skills and equipment necessary to continue their fight against Rhino poaching.
Unite against Poaching have also just renewed the 4 X 4 Volkswagen Amarok, which is already in use for the ground transport of the Unitrans Volkswagen Tracker Hounds Unit in the KNP. Tracker hounds have been identified as a significant weapon in the counter poaching arsenal.
A contribution of over R6m was made to SANParks for antipoaching efforts by the fund.
