The International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) is a non-profit organisation registered in Australia, predominately operating on the African continent.〔(A Different Battle – The Age )〕〔(IAPF website )〕 The group has a structured military-like approach to conservation, employing tactics and technology generally reserved for the modern-day battlefield.〔(Rise of the Drones – Africa Geographic )〕 ==Background== Following service in Iraq spanning 12 tours of duty, former Australian naval clearance diver and special operations sniper Damien Mander〔 headed for Africa with the intention of using his niche skills for conservation.〔(Damien's Rhino – Carte Blanche )〕〔(Damien Mander: Raw for Africa – Beat Magazine )〕 What was initially to be a short adventure quickly turned into an obsession as Mander observed first-hand the harsh realities that front-line rangers and wildlife face on a daily basis.〔(Conservation Rambo – Mindfood, Smart Thinking )〕 Liquidating his life savings and real estate portfolio accumulated from nine years of military service, Mander founded the IAPF in 2009.〔(Damien’s War – 60 Minutes )〕 He was soon joined by his working colleague, wartime veteran and friend of 11 years, Steven Dean. The pair now operate the IAPF in Africa, spending most of the year on the ground protecting wildlife.〔〔(Lessons from Baghdad: The International Anti-Poaching Foundation on the frontline in Zimbabwe – Africa Media online )〕 Across much of Africa anti-poaching tactics have remained largely unchanged for decades.〔(Evenings with Dominic Knight – ABC Sydney Radio )〕 Small groups of undertrained and poorly equipped rangers are sent out for days on end to conduct patrols in remote and dangerous locations. Modern-day poachers have evolved and routinely utilise military tactics and equipment to kill individual members of high-target species, such as elephants, rhinos and gorillas. Seeing this shortfall, the IAPF set out to fill the gap.〔(Unmanned Drones in Conservation – Rhino Dialogs Website )〕 What initially started out as a training organisation quickly expanded into a community outreach, management, and research-orientated outfit, capable of running autonomously or alongside existing projects.〔(Damien Mander of IAPF – Urban Jungle Radio )〕〔(IAPF Website )〕
