It’s nothing we didn’t know, but when SANParks head ranger Don English reveals that poaching syndicates have compromised fellow rangers you realise what an uphill battle they face daily. According to English, poaching has cost SANParks an estimated R240 million in the past 12 months, with 16 Kruger National Park field rangers recently charged for assisting poachers. It’s led them to take a new approach: subjecting SANParks employees to polygraph testing in the very near future.
