Full Interview With Krugers Anti Poaching Chief General Johan Jooste

General Johan Jooste is the chief of the Kruger National Park Anti-Poaching Unit in South Africa. He is responsible for the conservation of the wildlife in the park and the protection of its endangered species. In this interview, he talks about the challenges he faces in the field, the progress that has been made, and his plans for the future.

Q: What are some of the biggest challenges you face in your role as the chief of the Kruger National Park Anti-Poaching Unit?

A: Poaching is a global problem, and it is especially prominent in the Kruger National Park. The type of poaching we deal with ranges from illegal hunting to the illegal harvest of endangered species. As the chief, I must ensure that our anti-poaching efforts are effective and that our strategies are up-to-date. This includes working with local communities and governments to ensure that they are aware of the problem and are taking action to combat it.

Q: What progress has been made in the fight against poaching in the Kruger National Park?

A: We have made significant progress in our fight against poaching in the Kruger National Park. We have established an extensive network of anti-poaching units and patrol teams that monitor the park on a regular basis. We have also implemented a number of technological solutions, such as the use of drones and motion-sensor cameras, to help us detect and respond to illegal activity. Additionally, we have worked closely with the local communities, educating them about the importance of conservation and involving them in our anti-poaching initiatives.

Q: What plans do you have for the future of the Kruger National Park Anti-Poaching Unit?

A: In the future, we will continue to invest in our anti-poaching efforts. We plan to improve our technological capabilities, as well as expand our network of anti-poaching teams and patrol teams. Additionally, we will continue to focus on our education and outreach efforts to raise awareness of the importance of conservation and the dangers of poaching. Finally, we are planning to work more closely with local governments to ensure that they are taking the necessary steps to protect the park and its wildlife.

General Johan Jooste is the chief of anti-poaching operations for Kruger National Park, one of the largest and most important game reserves in South Africa. General Jooste is responsible for ensuring the safety of the park’s wildlife and its inhabitants. His job is to protect the park’s resources and to prevent illegal poaching of animals.

Q: What are some of the challenges you face as the chief of anti-poaching operations in Kruger National Park?

A: The biggest challenge I face is the sheer scale of the park. Kruger National Park is over two million hectares, making it one of the largest protected areas in Africa. That means that poaching activities can be carried out in remote areas and can be difficult to detect. Additionally, as the park is a major tourist destination, it also attracts poachers who take advantage of the increased human presence and traffic.

Q: What measures have you taken to combat poaching in the park?

A: Our main strategy is to use a multi-pronged approach. This includes both preventative and reactive measures. On the preventative side, we have increased the number of rangers and patrols throughout the park. We have also implemented a system of aerial surveillance to monitor potential poaching activity. On the reactive side, we are constantly on the lookout for poachers, and our rangers are trained to respond quickly and effectively when they do encounter them.

Q: What do you believe is the best way to protect Kruger National Park’s wildlife?

A: The best way to protect the park’s wildlife is to ensure that all visitors to the park are aware of the importance of respecting the park’s boundaries, laws, and rules. We need to educate visitors on the importance of not disturbing the wildlife and following the park’s regulations. Additionally, we need to continue to monitor and respond to poaching activities. Finally, we need to continue to work with the local communities to ensure that they understand the importance of preserving the park’s resources and wildlife.

Q: What advice would you give to someone interested in protecting wildlife in their own community?

A: My advice would be to get involved in local conservation and protection efforts. Join a local conservation group or volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary. Educate yourself on the issues facing wildlife in your area and become an advocate for wildlife conservation. Additionally, look for opportunities to support conservation efforts in your community such as planting trees, hosting clean-up days, or volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center.…

Singapore office rents see subdued growth in 1Q2023: JLL

Grade A office rents in the Central Business District of Singapore saw a rise in the first quarter of 2023, though the q-o-q growth slowed for the second consecutive quarter. Real estate consultancy JLL reported an average gross effective rent of $11.30 psf per month, a modest 1.0% increase from the previous quarter.

This marked a slowdown in the 5 consecutive quarters of growth seen prior to this. Andrew Tangye, head of office leasing and advisory at JLL Singapore, attributed this lowering of growth to macroeconomic uncertainties that dampened demand for office space. He noted that large space users are largely refraining from relocating or expanding right now.

Small-to-medium sized space occupiers were largely driving leasing activity in the first quarter of 2023, with new market entrants and those needing to accommodate new workplace design or hiring being the major contributors. Notable leases in the CBD during this time include German insurer Munich Re and fine wine merchant Corney & Barrow.

In the face of a cautious market, new office spaces have still seen solid take-up. This includes Guoco Midtown in the Bugis-Beach Road area and IOI Central Boulevard Towers in the Marina Bay financial district, both of which have secured tenants for 80-90% of their space. These buildings have seen companies from various sectors, including financial services, technology, media, and professional services, commit to spaces or enter into active negotiation.

Outside the CBD, Labrador Tower in Pasir Panjang is estimated to be 25% pre-committed one year ahead of its planned completion in 2024. Prudential is among the tenants that have already signed on, taking up 150,000 sq ft of space in the Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy development.

Tay Huey Ying, head of research and consultancy at JLL Singapore, expected office demand to remain rather muted due to the macroeconomic realities and that occupiers could take longer to backfill spaces vacant due to relocations. As such, Office rent growth is anticipated to remain modest for the remainder of the year.

Post-2024, Tangye believes that the tight supply of Grade A office spaces coupled with an improvement in economic prospects will result in a rebound in demand and an acceleration in rental growth. In the meantime, he advises space users to seize the current window of opportunity to lock-in good quality office spaces in new buildings.…
