Democratic Republic of the Congo Anti-poaching

The Endangered Species Protection Agency works within International Law and with local law enforcement to conserve and protect critically endangered and threatened species including rhino, elephant, gorilla, orangutan, tiger and many others.

The continued existence of these vulnerable animals is inseparably linked to the communities that share their habitat, requiring a hearts-and-minds approach to transparent, credible conservation security and strategy.

ESPA provides specialist bespoke training to anti-poaching units (APUs), wildlife rangers and park guards to enhance their capabilities in preventing poaching, reacting to hostile situations, and in support of the authorities in order that they can continue to protect at-risk species and provide essential security to local populations.
