Germany donates patrol vehicles and equipment to environment ministry's anti-poaching unit
The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism's anti-poaching unit recently received 22 patrol vehicles and IT equipment to support wildlife protection services. "The critical equipment we receive today - valued at approximately N$20 million - comes at a pivotal time for our conservation efforts. This consignment includes 21 4×4 off-road patrol vehicles, one Corolla Sedan, and IT equipment. With these additional patrol vehicles, we will be better positioned to ensure the mobility of our units, resulting in a reduced reaction time to incursions," Pohamba Shifeta, the Minister of Environment, Forestry and Tourism, revealed. He added that the IT equipment will enhance capabilities in handling administrative challenges related to wildlife protection and improve the monitoring and reporting of patrol efforts.
