John Kasaona
Community Based Conservationist
How Poachers Became Caretakers
When John Kasaona was a boy growing up in Namibia, his father took him into the
bush to teach him how to take care of the family’s livestock. His father said, “If you see
a cheetah eating our goat, walk up to it and smack it on the backside.” A cheetah is a
very nervous animal. If a person confronts it, it will probably run away. John also
learned how to deal with a lion by standing very still and making himself look very big.
These were useful lessons for a boy who became a wild life conservationist. As
Kasaona says, “it is very important if you are in the field to know what to confront and
what to run from.”
Kasaona was born in 1971. At that time, Namibia had many problems. The country was
at war from 1966 to 1990. Because of the fighting, many people had rifles. This caused
a secondary problem—poaching. For example, poachers killed many black rhinos for
their horns, which were very valuable. To make things even worse, around 1980, a
terrible drought killed people, livestock, and wildlife. By 1995, there were only 20 lions
left in the Kunene region in the northwest of the country, where Kasaona’s family lives.
Many other species were also endangered
