The main objectives of the Association are:
• Open up anti poaching training camps on the outskirts of the national parks and private game reserves, where we will have professional Game Rangers doing extensive Anti Poaching training.
• We will only hire people living close to the national parks and game reserves (as it shows that its where the organized crime gangs often hire their workers), making sure that we pay them enough so that they dont need to involve themselves in something illegal.
• We will actively support every village that participates in the Anti Poaching project with incentives, ensuring that the village counsel is supporting our cause.
• We will also on a monthly basis have lectures in the participating villages, with ethics, wildlife, English, ecology and agriculture as our main subjects.
• To solve global environmental problems, such as climate change, loss of endangered species
