Nkwe Wildlife Security Services was established in 2006 and we specialize in anti-rhino poaching and wildlife security. We have a team of well trained & disciplined Field Rangers which are deployed to Nature Reserves to protect the rhino population. In 2012, Nkwe Tactical Training Academy was established to offer specialized training in anti-rhino poaching & rhino monitoring. Successful anti-poaching requires a unique and different skill-set to area management, guiding, security, wildlife studies, tourism and hospitality. The Anti-Poaching Ranger qualification will compliment existing studies, but provide the niche capabilities to deploy, operate and command on today’s wildlife battlefield. We have now established a Tactical Training Academy as well. The first graduates walked out of Nkwe Tactical Training Academy Friday, April 26 2013, as certified rhinoceros monitors with a better understanding of the warning signs of poaching activity. Most will go on to advanced classes where they’ll receive instruction in wildlife management, surveillance, crime scene investigation and small arms tactics in preparation for careers as field rangers. The new school is the cornerstone of PROJECT: SAVE THE RHINO, which is funded by the Bisbee Fish & Wildlife Conservation Fund.We are looking to establish an NPO to raise funds as costs are an enormous strain on keeping operations afloat and to keep rhino and our wildlife protected.Our mission is to provide extensive ground coverage and security on Reserves with rhino populations & increase the rate of detection and capture of suspected poachers.
Listed skills include Wildlife Security, Anti Poaching, Security, Operations Management, and 21 others.

Today we strive to protect the world’s last remaining African rhino species, so that tomorrow they will still continue to play their vital role in our continent’s irreplaceable and beautiful ecosystems, contributing to an ever-growing realization of our fundamental reliance on the natural environment (and ALL its elements) for our very basic needs. We honour their uniqueness as one of the primary icons of Africa’s great wilderness areas.The only real effective deterrent that comes between a rhino and poacher is a well trained field ranger, I salute all field rangers in Africa for putting their lives on the line and carrying out some of the most demanding and dangerous work for the sustainability of conservation.
