“ATS is one of the industry leaders in the field of monitoring and protecting rhino, in challenging conditions. The ATS K9 unit has set high performance standards in the use and handling of their highly trained dogs, to support co-ordinated anti-poaching operations in Savé Valley Conservancy."

Under the protection of ATS, the rhino population in the Savé Valley Conservancy has seen a biological growth rate of 7%, this is above the 5% IUCN recommendation for game reserves protecting rhino, and, maintained a poaching mortality rate of below 2%, also IUCN recommended. 

This has seen to fruition, the overriding goal underpinning all activity of ATS for 11 years in the SVC - in July 2021, the translocation of 4 black rhino, including 2 pregnant mothers, to Gonarezhou National Park. A regeneration program deemed a monumental success for conservation in Zimbabwe.
