CAS, who has been in the defense, aviation, and SAR sector for the past 135 years, is known for their innovations in pilot safety gear, aerial delivery platforms, and their notorious Capewell parachute release.
Leading the pack of the K9 division, is Jason Watson, a former entrepreneur in the sporting and consumer dog markets for over 12 years. Watson's former company, Dublin Dog Co was acquired by Remington Outdoor Company in 2012, where Jason launched a new law enforcement and military K9 division. Having utilized the technical skills, and state of the art sewing capabilities of Capewell Aerial Systems for his former line of K9 tactical vests, floatation, and other specialized kit, Watson decided to come on board full-time with Capewell as Director of Business Development & Business Line Manager for K9 earlier this Spring.

White Elephant Ignite Expedition

Africa is losing elephants at an alarming rate and wildlife poaching has spiraled out of control. Most South Africans are passionate about nature conservation, but what can we all do about it? For the first time in the world, an intrepid group of women explorers, have decided to bring the global spotlight on the plight of these gentle creatures and the people who protect them by embarking on an epic expedition across Africa.

Game Rangers’ Association of Africa

Conraad is a member of the GRAA
The Game Rangers Association of Africa (GRAA) was founded in 1970 as a non-racial, non-political organisation. The Game Rangers Association of Africa is a properly constituted association and has been registered as a non-profit organisation.
The Game Rangers Association of Africa is a long-standing and well established defined community of practice. The Game Rangers’ Association of Africa provides support, networks and representation for game rangers across Africa. The Game Rangers Association of Africa believes that game rangers should operate with pride, and with passion for their profession whilst promoting best management practices in ensuring the conservation of our natural heritage. The Game Rangers Association of Africa believes that the continued future existence of Africa’s wilderness and its wildlife is ultimately and irrevocably linked to the expertise, ethics and motivation of those tasked with the “on the ground” protection and management of this priceless asset. This involves inter alia the conservation of the natural heritage, and the promotion of sustainable utilization of natural resources, ecotourism, community involvement and environmental education.
The Ranger in Africa has many real needs, but without real support and relevant training the Ranger will fail, and Africa’s priceless natural and cultural heritage will be lost forever.
