Education

Education plays a significant role in deterring and combating the destructive nature that poaching and poachers are having on the world’s most sacred wildlife and environments. Given that poaching and trafficking of wildlife is now the 3rd largest criminal industry in the world, successful education of all children will bring about a more caring and philanthropic citizen.

To achieve this, the IAPF has sourced a dedicated ‘Education Committee’ of teachers and teacher aides to research, produce and deliver outstanding resources and training for global game rangers, domestic and global school teachers and support to the subsistence communities of the world.

The resources and training of the IAPF 'Education Committee' will:

  1. educate and upgrade 'game ranger training' and skills at the IAPF academies using accelerated learning techniques
  2. reinforce and accentuate school geographical curriculums and syllabuses
  3. assist in the development of subsistence communities income streams

Primary School Environmental Studies

IAPF’s primary focus is combating the detrimental effects that all forms of poaching are having on the environment. However, the poaching crisis will continue as long as there are individuals who rely on bushmeat for protein and/or income. This cannot be accomplished by the presence of anti-poaching units alone, nor can this be achieved by awareness alone. Other alternatives are required. However, these alternatives will not be viable unless people are taught how to manage them. This requires environmental education that encompasses all types of environmental issues so as to ensure sustainable use.
