Mr. Andro Vos,  have developed the concept of the Wildlife Forensic Academy as a program director at the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) about 12 years ago. 5 year later the idea was supported by the European Commission with a grant of 6 million Euro. Unfortunately due to other strategic choices the NFI didn’t proceed with the establishment of the Academy. So the project stopped and as a result of that we didn’t receive the grant. Then he took the decision to quit my job at the NFI and establish the Academy as a private enterprise. After a journey of 12 years the Wildlife Forensic Academy is established as the world’s first of its kind. The Academy is based 1 hour drive from Cape Town at Buffelsfontein Nature and Game Reserve. The Academy is a 1000 m2 experience laboratory and is a simulation of the wildlife criminal justice chain. The principle of the concept is learning by experiencing. In the Academy there are multiple crime scenes such as: a rhino, a lion and a giraffe, a poachers tent, a vehicle and a complete furnished house. There is also a forensic laboratory, a court house and an observation room.
