Swakop Uranium Foundation gave the equipment Tuesday to the conservancies at Otjimboyo and Ohungu both in the Erongo region west of Namibia about 400 kilometers from the capital Windhoek.
The conservancies are rich in cheetahs, leopards, jackals, springboks, brown hyenas, elephants and kudus.
Swakop Uraniums vice president of human resources and business support Percy McCallum handed over tents, sleeping bags, binoculars, backpacks, two-way radios and water bottles.
McCallum said: “With the rife poaching currently in the country, I am sure this equipment will greatly assist in the prevention of such illegal acts.”
Benedictus April, who represented Ohungu Conservancy, said poaching was a challenge in the area and that this year alone five poachers have been arrested. Enditem
