Africa is home to the largest animals walking the earth-the iconic African elephant. They are easily recognised by their large ears and trunk, used to handle objects and communicate. Once common throughout Africa, our iconic mammals have declined significantly due to threads. As with most wild animals, humans need to prioritise the conservation of the world’s elephants and their habitats.
Over the last few years, the field guide industry has expanded and offers various nature/wildlife and guiding courses. Spoiled for choice, it might take research to choose which course and training provider best suits the job. EcoTraining offers a wide range of courses, and we will highlight ten top features that make your task easier.

Dehorning is an effective strategy used with other methods, such as anti-poaching monitoring and security, to decrease rhino-poaching in southern Africa. Dehorning is only considered a last resort after carefully evaluating what level of security is in place. Otherwise, rhinos are highly likely to be poached, regardless of whether they are dehorned.
