“The International Anti-Poaching Foundation leads a pro-bono training workshop for rangers who have come from all over Zimbabwe in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Led by Australian Damien Mander, 31, a former Special Operations soldier in the Australian military, the IAPF teaches anti-poaching techniques which include tracking, self-defense, observation positions, and weapons training.” - brentstirton | April 5, 2011 |
