As succinctly stated previously, there is an alarming surge of rhinoceros poaching in the Okavango Delta and poachers continue to resort to the adoption of ruthless tactics by targeting members of the BDF. Since the commencement of the year 2020, sixteen (16) armed poachers have been killed.
As a professional, prompt and decisive force, the BDF’s anti-poaching units will continue to execute their task of protecting endangered species.
