April 30, 2025
National Anti-Poaching Strategy (NAPS 2025-2030), a national document that represents Botswana’s continued commitment to protecting biodiversity in all its forms, especially critically endangered species. The first strategy commenced in 2014 and ended in 2019, having achieved significant results - making Botswana one of the few countries on the African continent to achieve an effective collaboration between its security agencies in combating poaching and illegal wildlife trade. Combating poaching and illegal wildlife trade demands close cooperation and coordination between a broad range of agencies within and outside government.
