Operation Blue Rhino

Operation Blue Rhino

Operation Blue Rhino is  a  formal  cooperation  between  the  Protected Resources Division of the Namibian Police Force within the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security and the Intelligence and Investigation Unit within the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism.

The Operation was initiated on the 30th of July 2018 to counter the surge in wildlife crime, and particularly rhino poaching in Namibia. Motivated by its ongoing success, the operation has been repeatedly extended. An agreement has been reached to continue the operation for a five-year period, until mid-2025.
