Joining field patrols to assess capacities and needs of Tamaraw rangers (February 24 – March 6)

DAF Program Manager assisted GWC expert in Wildlife Crime Prevention, Mr. James Slade, to survey Tamaraw landscape within MIBNP and Aruyan-Malati area, together with the 4 TCP rangers’ teams. The goal was to assess the patrolling/monitoring activities of the rangers thus to identify gaps, needs and constraints, as well as to initiate new methods (cyber tracker). Report from James Slade will be very valuable to design and develop capacity reinforcement approach for the Tamaraw rangers.
