Established by an Act of Parliament in 1997, the Game Products Trust Fund (GPTF) is a funding mechanism that channels income generated through the sustainable use of wildlife back into wildlife conservation and sustainable development projects. It focuses especially on the management of endangered species like black rhino and reducing human-wildlife conflict, but also supports various projects related to conservation and sustainable development. The stated vision of the GPTF is: "To reinvest funds from wildlife use and other sources into sustainable conservation and rural development programmes in Namibia". The vision is: "To be a catalyst for sustainable wildlife management practices while improving livelihoods of those sharing their land with wildlife".
