F. Park Operations Programme In order to cope up with the increasing challenges for resource protection, SENAPA management will revise its strategies to take on board new innovative ways that will strike a proper balance between the needs of adjacent communities and other stakeholders and the preservation of park resources. In order to meet this target, seven management actions have been formulated and are described below. Action 1.1.1: Provide modern equipment for anti-poaching activities Anti-poaching operations are high risk and dangerous, therefore it is critical that the rangers are properly equipped to maximise their safety as well as their effectiveness. As identified in Table F.1 above, the resources available at certain ranger posts are insufficient for effective anti-poaching operations. This action will ensure that all the park ranger posts are properly supplied with the working equipment needed to conduct their law enforcement activities and that this equipment is maintained to a high standard. Action 1.1.2: Carry out an assessment of new anti-poaching techniques and implement pilots In recent years a great deal of progress has been made to develop techniques in conservation that utilise emerging technologies, such as GIS and night visioning. This action will assess these techniques in order to see how they can best support the Park anti-poaching efforts; including the special needs of species protection, such as for the Black rhino. Promising new or improved technologies will be tested through a rigorous piloting, before scaling up for adoption across the Park. Action 1.1.3: Establish cooperation with traditional leaders in raising local community awareness Enlisting the cooperation and support of local communities will be an important preventative approach that the Resource Protection Department will adopt in tackling the threat of poaching. By forming better relationships with the local communities, it is hoped that progress will be made to change the attitudes that lead to poaching practices. This action will concentrate on building awareness amongst the neighbouring communities of the national and international conservation importance of the park resources and establishing a sense of ownership for their conservation. This will principally be achieved by strengthening the relationship and trust with the traditional leaders and encouraging them to instil discipline and responsibility in their young members towards conservation of park resources. Action 1.1.4: Liaison with Community Outreach Department in building ranger - local community cooperation and reward schemes regarding anti-poaching activities Building on the relationships and trust established between the local communities and the rangers under Action 1.1.3, this management action will seek innovative ways to encourage and reward communities who support the anti-poaching efforts of the Resource Protection Department. These activities along with the next action will be done in close collaboration of the Community Outreach Department (see Community Outreach Action 2.1.3). Action 1.1.5: Provide support to village governments in training VGS for protection of community conserved areas It is recognised that the Resource Protection Department, at its current size and with the existing poaching levels, will never be able to adequately protect all the resources under its responsibility. In fact, it is unlikely that there will ever be sufficient resources to achieve this 101
