Shifeta also mentioned that the additional patrol vehicles will especially help ensure that units can reduce their response time. He said that the donated IT equipment will broaden their capabilities to deal with the administrative challenges of wildlife protection, as well as improve the monitoring and reporting of patrol efforts to demonstrate the impact of the money invested in the wildlife protection services. "These items will significantly improve our ability to protect wildlife and manage our national parks." He said that the donated vehicles will also increase the safety of personnel when they are on patrol. "I've personally seen what rangers go through when they're in the field." Shifeta said that the equipment they received was not just a donation, but an investment in the future of Namibia's wildlife, its natural heritage and its people. "This will strengthen our conservation and law enforcement efforts and bring us closer to our goal of ensuring that no wild animal is illegally killed in our country." The Ambassador of Germany to Namibia, Dr Thorsten Hutter, said that Namibia is one of the top countries in the world when it comes to protecting its biodiversity.
