The document takes reporting on wildlife crimes, protection and law enforcement to the next level. It covers data from the past 10 years, and reflects a level of transparency and analytical sophistication that most other countries can only dream of achieving in this sector. It looks at some of the data in new and more revealing ways. Indeed, it is a case study on how things should be done. It reflects advanced levels of collaboration and integration of organisations, not only within government, but also with NGOs, communities, the private sector and development partners. Many people talk about collaborative planning, implementation and reporting but few achieve it. The multi-agency partners who combat wildlife crime in Namibia make it happen, and the results speak for themselves. This report also reflects honest and challenging introspection. It brings refreshing critical analysis to the question of "where could we do better", "where are the bottlenecks in the system" and "how should we address them". An example of this is the backlog in court cases and the length of time it takes to bring people before the courts. A major step forward in this regard is the recent establishment of a dedicate regional environmental court in Otjiwarongo to address this problem and also to elevated the level of knowledge and expertise around prosecuting wildlife crimes. If only all sectors of conservation and indeed life could be similarly self-reflective, how much better the world would be. One cannot improve and get ever closer to the ideal without laying out the challenges and constraints, reflecting upon these in an open, honest way, and then develop a plan of actions to address them. Once again, we congratulate the Blue Rhino Task Team, all the many government, community, civil society, private sector and supporting agencies, the boots on the ground protecting our wildlife, the law enforcers, the legal skills in the courts, the administrators, data managers and analysts, the report writers, planners and fund raisers, and the visionary leaders who pull it all together. You do a magnificent job.
