Guests were amazed by how many parties are involved in following up an incursion by suspected poachers and were also impressed with the efficiency of all the teams and their cooperation.

“We were very proud to be a part of this presentation with our colleagues and partners,” said the College’s Dog Master Johan van Straaten.
