It is important to have the government as a partner in protecting our fauna and flora! The government is after all supposed to be in the service of the nation!

I am signing because it is essential for us humans to do our part and help these endangered animals as we are the ones who put them in danger. The Endangered Species Unit is vital to give these animals a chance to survive in their natural habitat free from the detrimental destruction of poachers.

Firstly, not protecting these endangered animals creates unbalance in nature which could have a negative impact on other animals as well as human life.

Secondly, tourists don't come to South Africa to experience the crime rate, they come to experience Africa which for obvious reasons includes witnessing these majestic animals.

Jaco Labuschagne (Potchefstroom, 2025-01-29)

I am signing this petition because the dissolution of the SAPS Endangered Species Unit is a devastating blow to wildlife conservation in South Africa. This specialized unit has played a critical role in combating poaching, dismantling wildlife trafficking networks, and protecting species on the brink of extinction. Without it, countless animals—rhinos, pangolins, elephants, and many more—will face an even greater threat.

Kirstin van de Vyver (Hoedspruit, 2025-01-29)

The Protection of our wildlife is essential. Our wildlife is one of, if not the most important tourism avenues for this country. Find those that are poaching and illegally selling our wildlife is an important part to maintaining tourism.

I work with the members of the SAPS ESU regularly to save endangered species and these members are detrimental to the species and the apprehension of the suspects involved in these crimes.

South Africa needs to preserve the species we have. There is already too little respect for our wildlife resources which can still be a viable source of tourist income. We NEED this!!
