For those familiar with the sustainable use of nature and the world of ethical hunting, Danene van der Westhuyzen needs no introduction. So following Shane Mahoney, the famous conservation expert from North America, another internationally acknowledged individual has joined the “One With Nature” World of Hunting and Nature Exhibition team.
In a video message Danene invites lovers of nature to Hungary, because she believes that the World Exhibition will address a subject that is important and relevant for everyone.
Danene’s passion for fair and ethical hunting has amplified her stand with numerous conservation and anti-poaching organizations over the past years.
She is the President of the Namibian Professional Hunters Association (NAPHA), Chair and CEO of Operators & Professional Hunting Associations of Africa (OPHAA), Trustee of Hunters United Against Poaching, Board Member of The Nature Conservation Board of Namibia and serves on the DSC Conservation Advisory Board. She was also elected as Director to the Conservation Force board in late January 2020.
She has won the DSC Operator of the Year Award and the APHA OX of Okavango Award for her “immense contribution towards conservation.” She is a dangerous game PH, a wife and mother of three. She and her husband Gysbert operate ARU Game Lodges with its conservation initiatives.
Nimród Hunting Magazine has conducted an interview with Danene van der Westhuyzen, in which she explains how responsible hunting can be used to further conservation. The interview can be read in the magazine’s upcoming May edition.
