About NAPU
A non-profit organisation that has been involved in nature conservation since 2003 and officially registered in 2019, by passionate nature enthusiasts, with tactical backgrounds, who grew tired of seeing their surrounding areas being plundered for profit.
During September 2018, after a member of NAPU assisted in arresting poachers in the Namib Desert, a huge poaching syndicate was discovered. Information and evidence obtained led to ±188 slaughtered Oryx over a period of only two months in the Namib Naukluft Park. Various other poaching sites in the surrounding areas were also discovered where Zebra, Springbok and Ostrich were slaughtered.
This was the final push needed for individuals that share the same conservation beliefs and sentiments to come together and establish this organisation. An organisation that consists out of trained members in various fields, who are passionate about making a sustainable difference.
