Damien Mander had a military career with the Australian Royal Navy as a Clearance Diver and Special Operations sniper. In 2009, he completely cashed in and became the founder of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation in Africa. He was in DC recently to raise funds for his organization, and was able to give Commander Divine some time to talk about his work in Africa and how he is developing leaders amongst Rangers in several African countries.

Learn how

• Damien recruits largely from the female population for his rangers lately for stronger connections to the communities affected by poaching
• How his anti-poaching efforts came from going to Africa first, and gaining understanding later
• It’s important to include the communities in his efforts, rather than just “declaring war” on both poaching and the communities
