Instructor Zero gets in on the APU work, hopefully it draws enough attention to what's happening to the large mammals of Africa.

A friend of mine , a contractor, worked the anti-poaching mission in Africa. Said it was a bullshit Mission.

Zero is former Italian Special Forces iirc
So, where's the sign up for the anti-anti-poaching?

That's funny, that's like saying he was a elite operator in the USCG and he invented thumb over bore and it now and airsoft convention runway model.

What makes it bullshit

>the anti-poaching mission
Africa is a really big place, and there are a lot of people doing a lot different things in a lot of different place. There are gov't funded units and then there are small private units protection game lodges. I call bullshit on your statement.

This
The guys at Kruger national park have ground-search radars a fleet of helos and rudimentary ISTAR platforms as well as access to military intelligence, Recces and Police Special Task Force
The guys in Virunga, DRC, are pic related. They have a couple D30 howitzers and one of the few operational Congolese airforce Hinds in the entire Eastern-DRC permanently attached.
Africa is vast, their anti-poaching efforts stretch from extremely high tech to what is effectively a combined arms battalion, and everything in-between

I grew up within a half day walk of Kruger, and I still go back to the family farm a couple times each year.
It is large enough and rugged enough I don't see any effective way to slow down poaching. They'd need hundreds of helos. Many of the locals view the animals there as income to be exploited at every opportunity. If they killed the last of something they wouldn't know or care.
The only way to stop it is to cut off the markets that make it profitable.

>Many of the locals view the animals there as income
And you'd know that those locals are far more likely to be involved in tourism and hospitality than they are poaching.
The way to stop it is to flood the market with, and crash prices, with the dehorned rhino horn that's sitting in storage as mandated by the dehorning permit terms. The same can be done with elephant tusks. The most poached animal, the pangolin, is one that most people have never heard of.
