Poachers using new tactics
The environment minister Pohamba Shifeta has expressed his concern with the change in tactics by would-be poachers. Poachers in Namibia have changed their tactics and are now entering private farms with horses. The use of horses not only complicates tracking but, horses also mask the smell of humans. Environment minister Pohamba Shifeta said that the new tactic used by poachers remain a concern to the ministry and that officials must stay ahead of poaching syndicates. He said a specific challenge with regards to poaching in Namibia still remains poaching on private farms and this year three rhinos have already been poached.
