2. SANParks Constitutional Mandate Vision South African National Parks Connecting to Society Mandate Delivery of Conservation Mandate by Excelling in the Management of a National Park System Mission To develop, manage and promote a system of national parks that represents biodiversity and heritage assets by applying best practice, environmental justice, benefit- sharing and sustainable use Transformation Mission To ensure effective transformation both within SANParks and the broader society and economy, through the implementation of broad-based Black Economic Empowerment in support of the Constitution of South Africa.

3. SANParks Constitutional Mandate Section 24(b) of the Constitution states that - Everyone has the right: to have the environment protected, for the benefit of present and future generations, through reasonable legislative and other measures that – (i)prevent pollution and ecological degradation; (ii)promote conservation; and (iii)secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development. The word and has a conjunctive meaning in legislation Promoting biodiversity conservation in not the only purpose of environmental legislation, it must also promote justifiable economic and social development. A view that National Parks are proclaimed to be pristine areas managed exclusively for solitude “untrammeled” by commercial and social activities is incongruent with section 24(b) of the constitution. The “social contract” between conservation and society was re-written in 1994.

4. Introduction South Africa has approx 550 and 48 terrestrial and costal protected areas respectively, and 232 conservation areas. Collectively, terrestrial protected areas exceed 7,9 million ha (7.5% of the country), while the costal/marine protected areas comprise over 426,000 ha, Nearly 4 million ha (50.6% of 3.4% of SA surface) of these (protected areas) are under SANParks management. SANParks mandate is to Conserve; Protect; Control; and Manage National Parks and other defined Protected Areas and their Biological diversity (Biodiversity).

16. Focus on Rhino Poaching in Kruger NP 94.8% (239) increase in total number of rhino poached between 2011 and 2013 February – totalling to 743. Average of 1 rhino killed per day since beginning of 2012 to date.

17. Challenges relating to Rhino Poaching Inadequate range capacity to conduct frequent patrols as the per the best practise to attend to poaching “hot-spots” areas. Inadequate tools to conduct night patrols in challenging bushy terrains, such as night vision tools for both rangers and flights, and early warning systems. Inadequate intelligence at various levels from all agencies Mozambique (bordering 350 km of Kruger) used by poachers as their safe-harbour and escape route. Limited and intermittent SANDF and SAPS support – no more than 150 army troops on the ground with two vehicles and helicopters to patrol 350 km Mozambique border line.

18. Strategies to Fight Rhino Poaching Recruitment, training and deployment of additional ranges, including retraining of existing establishment crews. Appointment of Major General (retired) Johan Joster to lead SANParks Ranger Corp. Re-strategising on our ranger operations to improve security measures. Deployment of security systems which will difficult for poachers to bridge, such as long range early warning & response systems; and ground & aerial surveillance solutions.
