Liebe M@rie,

ich habe keine Lust mich hier herumzustreiten, worüber auch?
Warum du aber just auf meinem Beitrag ohne "Quellenangabe" herumhackst erschließt sich mir nicht,
wo es derer doch unzählige hier gibt.
Mein Beitrag für dich zum Weihnachtsfrieden...

Danke GinaChris für den link auf die alten Fotos, diese kannte ich noch nicht und ich bin sehr interessiert an solchen Zeitdokumenten. Mein Interesse ist rein persönlich, also nicht kommerziell. Das nur zur Klarstellung, bevor hier Jemand wieder die Nerven wegschmeißt.
@Marie
Bitte um Aufklärung betr. Urheberschutz im inkriminierten Anlassfall, welcher mE KEIN eigenes Werk darstellt, sondern nur eine abfotografierte Preisliste, die per se immer öffentlich war, weil eben für die Öffentlichkeit gemacht, was sonst :whistle: . Es könnte genauso gut ein(e) Speisekarte, Straßenschild, Fahrplan etc. sein, von denen es hier xxxx gibt, ohne dass sich wer deswegen derart aufbuddelt. Dass Frau Naude die Rechte auf die Preisliste (1969!) exklusiv erworben hätte, kam mir nicht in den Sinn. Aber du wirst es sicher besser wissen.
Natürlich will ich auch nicht, dass der Forumsinhaber Schwierigkeiten bekommt oder dass die Diskussion deswegen hier fortgesetzt wird. Ich bin daher durchaus bereit, meinen Beitrag zu löschen, wurde aber wegen einer Löschung hier schon gesperrt. Ein klassischer Catch 22, in welchem man immer verliert. Daher meine Bitte an M@rie: Melde den Vorfall beim Betreiber und macht euch mein Forumsschicksal untereinander aus, in so was hast du ja Übung. Ich werde es akzeptieren ....
PS19:10, am einfachsten wäre natürlich, wenn du Frau Naude meinen persönlichen und innigen Dank für die Bildspende übermitteln würdest, denn du weißt ja was FB ist :cheer: :cheer: :laugh: Und frag sie bitte auch, ob ich das Bild auch haben darf.
Wenn sie ablehnt, lösche ich es. Das ist jetzt meine Ehrensache

Ranger Severely Injured By Elephant

South African National Parks (SANParks) today announced that an elephant had severely injured a Field Ranger while he was on patrol in the Pretoriuskop Section, in the south-western part of Kruger National Park (KNP). The incident took place today (20 December 2022) shortly after 08:00 in the morning.

Preliminary reports suggest that the injured Field Ranger was on patrol with his colleagues when a breeding herd of elephant crossed the road in front of them. One of the elephants turned back and charged the Field Ranger which resulted in him sustaining serious injuries. His colleagues managed to rescue him by firing a warning shot at the elephant which ran off and they were able to immediately call for help. A helicopter with a doctor and support team on board immediately responded. The injured Field Ranger was stabilised on the scene and transported by ambulance to the nearest hospital for further medical attention.

Reacting to the incident, the Head Ranger Catherine Dreyer expressed relief that the Field Ranger was not fatally wounded and was quickly attended to. "These are the daily dangers that we face in protecting our natural heritage and the Park from all wildlife crime. The possibility of being attacked by a dangerous wild animal is always present; and in some instances, unavoidable, especially with the bush being so thick during this time of the year. It makes it difficult to see animals from a distance and has sufficient time to react. We are grateful though that we managed to stabilise our colleague and transport him to the hospital, and we have him and his family in our prayers. We would also like to thank all Field Rangers who were with him at the time and assisted in stabilizing and transporting him under very difficult conditions."

The name of the injured Field Ranger is being withheld until his family has been formally notified. There will be a debriefing report compiled by the Rangers Corps into the incident as per protocol and the results thereof will be furnished to the KNP Management Committee. Ranger Services are continually looking at ways to improve the safety of Rangers on patrol.

SANParks mit freiwilligen Lügendetektortests gegen kriminelle Machenschaften (va poaching) der Mitarbeiter

SANParks To Develop SOP To Ease Implementation Of Polygraph Tests
22 December 2022

The country's body charged with the management of the national parks system, South African National Parks (SANParks), confirms it is in the process of developing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to ease the implementation of its recently approved Polygraph Testing Policy.

This is according to SANParks' General Manager: Media and Stakeholder Relations, Rey Thakhuli, who said the SANParks Polygraph Testing Policy was approved by the SANParks Board in November 2022 and has subsequently been signed into effect by the Acting CEO. He said the policy was developed after extensive consultation with relevant experts, including experts on labour law and consultation with organised labour.

According to Thakhuli, the intention is ultimately to make polygraph testing compulsory to certain job categories as determined by a risk assessment of function and job content, however, the current Labour Law environment and SANParks Conditions of Service disallow compulsory application of polygraph testing. The policy however paves the way for negotiating a collective agreement in the near future that will result in the amendment of the Conditions of Service, as well as the inclusion of compulsory polygraph testing as part of new employment contracts.

He said for existing employees, amendment of employment contracts in line with the policy can only be undertaken following negotiation and conclusion of a collective agreement with organised labour. He emphasised that there is also an option for individual employees to voluntarily agree to have their employment contract amended. "This will be done to manage risks without compromising employees’ rights and resulting in victimisation."

The value of the policy and the, still to be developed, SOP is that it allows for the application of testing on a voluntary basis and in a manner that enables risk mitigation to manage risks without compromising employees' rights or creating an environment of victimisation.

"It is accordingly important to appreciate that Polygraph testing is not the answer to prevent or manage staff involvement in criminality but it is a tool that needs to be used as part of the toolkit and with a full understanding of its benefits, but also its limitations," Thakhuli elaborates.

He pointed out that even in the voluntary form, polygraph testing does play an important role in preventing staff involvement in criminality, such as rhino poaching. He explained that these conclusions were drawn following a pilot conducted in the Kruger National Park amongst the ranger service a couple of years ago. This pilot study served to inform the current policy and has the following benefits:

For most of our rangers that are honest and committed to the protection of rhino, it provides an opportunity to demonstrate that they are trustworthy - this is an important imperative for team cohesion and constitutes positive pressure to all the cores.
The instrument is also one of the many initiatives that SANParks uses to deter employees from participating in criminal activity.
An indication of potential deception in a result, whilst it cannot be utilised to initiate disciplinary action, utilised with other tools, such as investigations, inform criminal and disciplinary procedures.
