Crime scene preservation training for rangers as anti-poaching measure

The International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) conducted a ranger training at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, in 2010. The poor conviction rate for rhino poachers at the time was largely attributed to poor collection and presentation of evidence from the field to the Police and the Courts. The IAPF training thus focused on crime scene preservation and management, drawing clear delineations in responsibility according to level of training that each ranger had received.
