Expert canine training to combat poaching and theft in South Africa

Founded in 2023, PAWS started from humble beginnings with a passion for the bush and an unwavering commitment to combat poaching and theft. Although newly established, we have extensive experience in training, consulting and the use of canines and advanced technology systems to combat theft and poaching. Our specialized teams are fuelled by passion and strive to make a lasting impact and to preserve our environment and ecosystems. Therefore, we see it as part of our role to raise awareness about all the challenges and dangers being faced daily. At PAWS we are focused on protecting all livestock, crops, property and wildlife by securing ecosystems, community empowerment, and a dedicated 24/7 presence on site to guarantee a sustainable future, not only for the owners of wildlife and crops, but also the protection of wildlife for future generations to come. Our approach to wildlife and crop protection is unique. Not only do we use cutting edge technology and canine units in our daily operations, but we also understand the value of real engagement and involvement of local communities in our fight against poaching.
Highly Trained Experts and Specialized Unit: Our Rangers are driven by passion and dedication to work 24/7, day and night, regardless of terrain or danger, with our dedicated K9 units which are used for tracking and detection, and which are specifically trained in anti-poaching tactics, bushcraft, tracking, and armed response, not just general security. PAWS Real-Time Surveillance: We use GSM-enabled, AIpowered camera traps, night vision, and thermal imaging to detect poachers before they strike. Intelligence-Led Operations: At PAWS we don’t just patrol blindly, we use data analysis and intelligence to identify threats and hot spots, increasing the likelihood of arrests. 24/7 Control Center: A dedicated, part-time manned control center that provides instant intelligence to rangers on the ground. At PAWS we focus on Proven Results and Transparency, thus we focus on quality and not quantity. Our track record showcase measurable success, such as a reduction in snares found, number of arrests, or increased sightings of wildlife and an increase in production on our farm areas. Transparent Reporting: by daily detailed reports to our clients on patrol coverage and findings, demonstrating commitment to accountability. Collaboration: We establish and maintain healthy relationships with Law enforcement agencies, Farmwatch, CPF communities, neighbouring farms and communities. Professional Registration: We believe in the maintenance of professional industry practices and training, and therefore maintain our professional registration with the accredited authorities.
