Can anybody give me a list, or direct me to where I might find a list of good organizations one could donate to in support of anti poaching? Thank you in advance.

DAPU, Dande Anti Poaching Unit. Do a search on the Forum and you will find a number of positive comments. SCI Houston supports DAPU and donations can be made through Conservation Force. Overseen by CM Safaris (Buzz Charlton and Myles McCallum).

Dande Anti Poaching Unit

Can you pay direct or have to go through a 3rd party

I want to start educating people how to really help the animals

The Tashinga Initiative Foundation. As per their website: "This Wildlife Protection Project is being implemented in the Protected Areas System of Zimbabwe’s Zambezi Valley and has been called “The Tashinga Initiative” based on the Shona word “Tashinga” which, loosely translated means “we have been on a journey of endeavour, and despite the challenges, we have won through”.

Founder Director Lynne Taylor lived for 10 years in Matusadona National Park, Zambezi Valley, together with her Ecologist husband Russell and their children and her passion and love for the wildlife areas of the Zambezi Valley has never stopped growing.

The on-going socio-economic crisis in Zimbabwe has presented critical challenges to maintaining conservation integrity and the continuity of wildlife protection efforts by the Rangers of the Parks Authority. The Tashinga Initiative addresses the needs in components such as infrastructure: Solar power, Radio communications, Internet communications, Roads, Ranger Anti-poaching Equipment, Mobility: Vehicles, boats, Ranger child education, Food security. All these components promote the well being of the Ranger and his family, enhancing morale and work ethic, and in turn, providing for the appropriate levels of protection being afforded to our wildlife."

You can pay DAPU directly but it is tax deductible if you do it through Conservation Force.

The Tashinga Initiative funds and implements various anti-poaching initiatives throughout the Lower Zambezi Valley including Matusadona National Park, Mana Pools National Park, Sapi safari area, Chewore North safari area, Chewore South safari area, etc.

Another worthwhile consideration...

In Zimbabwe, one of the best(if not the best) is DAPU in association with CMS. In Namibia, Jofe Lamprecht is running a very good anti poaching program. You can find info on either website.

Very important point. Thanks

The Friedkin Conservation Fund of Tanzania (FCF)

FCF

Friedkin Conservation Fund (“FCF”) operates as two separate but related entities – one is a Texas based nonprofit corporation that is registered as a 501(c)(3) entity in the United States, the other is known as “The Friedkin Conservation Fund of Tanzania” and is set up in Tanzania as a charitable Trust.

FCF was established for the purpose of conserving more than 6.1 million acres of Tanzania's protected areas, including its wildlife, wilderness and the local stakeholders of these natural resources.

FCF works closely with the Wildlife Division of Tanzania. Anti-poaching operations, innovative community development projects, and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping and research programs are FCF's primary focus.

The IAPF - International Anti Poaching Foundation.

They do a fantastic job in co-operation with Sabie Game Park and Kruger National Park, working together in cross border rhino poaching. Impressive.

Just noting that the IAPF's banner picture on their Facebook page is awesome.

Dande Anti Poaching Unit

+1. I've seen the results in person, and I was very impressed.

My advice is to look locally. Chengeta Wildlife, Imire, Matusadona Anti-Poaching Project, Tashinga Initiative, and the Gache Gache Anti-Poaching Unit are all good, for example, in Zimbabwe. If you do want to look internationally, always run a check with someone like Charity Watch first.

Folks thanks very much for the thumbs up on DAPU. We have just had Ziggy from Osprey down filming the progress of DAPU in what will no doubt be another excellent pro hunting documentary.

Eny please look at http://cmsafaris.com/african-e...de-anti-poaching.htm and we will happily send you more info if you require. I take a very personal interest in DAPU and feel strongly that with out efforts from DAPU and other likewise Anti Poaching efforts hunting and wildlife in general is doomed! Cheers Buzz

PAMS Foundation. They need all the help they can get.

DAPU is good, and one very good international effort is the International Anti-Poaching Foundation run by Damien Mander.
