About

Green Trax is a registered Closed Corporation in South Africa with our home base at the foot of the Drakensberg mountains close to Kruger National Park, managed by the founding member, Ruan de Flamingh.

Ruan is a qualified field ranger, a field guide, facilitator, instructor, assessor and business manager. He works with the training and handling of tracking and detection K9s on a daily basis.

We are very thankful to have the support from individuals and businesses supporting our work with the dogs in conservation -  They donate their time, expertise and knowledge or even sponsor a working dog or foster a dog during training.  A sincere thank you to Bush Whisper Expeditions for sponsoring our newest member to the K9 team, "Eyka".

Green Trax  supports existing projects and reputable training organisations which fall in line with our vision and conservation ethics. Whenever possible, we provide assistance in the form of expertise, time and operational deployment with our K9s.  In 2019 Green Trax managed to facilitate sponsorship for 5 Ranger's life insurance for a year by contributing to "Ranger Protect" (a combined initiative of SATIB and The Game Ranger's Association of Africa - GRAA)

We are directly involved with the protection of our endangered and threatened wildlife in various ways:

• TRAINING of K9s and K9 handlers in tracking and detection.
• ON-SITE maintenance training and assessments of K9s and  K9 handlers.
• OPERATIONAL deployment with K9s for human tracking as well as detection of weapons, ammunition and contraband (Narcotics detection in development).
• AWARENESS of the current poaching, trafficking and conservation situation globally via social media, talks and presentations.
