Introduction & about AFRTS
Poaching activities continues to remain one of the greatest threats to conservation in Africa.
Combating poaching has therefore become a national and international priority. Field Rangers
(also known as game scouts or game guards) are the front line staff, protecting conservation
areas according to established national and international law in the struggle to eliminate poaching.
A well-trained Field Ranger force is also one of the most effective strategies for ensuring that the
integrity of any conservation area is maintained.
AFRTS offers a comprehensive and intensive Field Ranger training program to all agencies charged
with the responsibility for the managing and conserving of wildlife resources in Africa.
African Field Ranger Training Services (AFRTS) was established in 2000 to meet the growing
demand for well-trained Field Rangers in conservation areas within Africa. The training program
offered by AFRTS instills an understanding of basic ecological concepts, introduces techniques for
involving communities in conservation, and provides instruction in practical methods of combating
poaching and an understanding of applicable laws.
AFRTS offers a comprehensive training program to both the private sector and government agencies in Africa, which have been charged with the responsibility for the management and conservation of wildlife resources.
