The Department of Wildlife and National Parks’ (DWNP) efforts against poachers are set to receive a shot in the arm next month when a consignment of non-military gear arrives from leading US NGO, Conservation International.

Conservation International, a 31-year-old environmental nonprofit, recently appointed former president, Ian Khama, as a distinguished fellow, charging him with representing its activities across Africa.

The specification of the equipment to be handed over was the result of detailed discussions between Conservation International and government. According to the NGO, the consignment will include gas cylinders, cots/stretchers, tents, GPS units, water purifiers, outdoor gas lamps and professional military flashlights, amongst others.
