About Our Horn Is NOT Medicine:

A partner of the Southern African Wildlife College, OHNM’s main aim is to create awareness about the rhino poaching crisis and to raise funds in support of the College’s work. In doing so, it helps raise funds for aerial surveillance and K-9 support, which serves high incursion areas of the southern and central Kruger.

The SAWC, an NGO based in Kruger National Park, South Africa, has tried and tested many of Africa’s methods and tools to combating wildlife crime and have found that these four tiers, when applied together, are essential for a positive outcome:

-Field Ranger Training

-K-9 Units (trained to track poachers)

-Aerial Surveillance

-Community Development surrounding wilderness areas

About Lee-Anne:

Lee-Anne Yammin (nee Davis) was working as a safari guide for AndBeyond Travel, where she was based at Ngala Private Nature Reserve, which lies within the Greater Kruger.

In 2012 Lee-Anne was directly affected by rhino poaching after she found her first carcass while on safari with her guests. It was at this time that Lee-Anne felt that she had to “do something”. Since her job as a guide allowed her to have daily interaction with travellers from all over the world, she realised that she could create a direct link from her guests to the people doing the work on the ground.

Lee-Anne soon got her team of Ngala guides involved in the cause and together they created awareness, and eventually funding for local projects that they found effective to their area of work. This led to the development of the OHNM campaign with its own distinct identity and logo.

OHNM became a large supporter of the aerial surveillance project (then known as the Bathawk Project) as well as the K-9 Unit which was developed with the support of WWF-SA at the end of 2015. Because of the relationship that OHNM created with the Southern African Wildlife College over the years, it only seemed fit that they merge these awareness and fundraising efforts. Thus in March 2019, Lee-Anne announced that she would be taking a sabbatical to travel and continue with her quest to raise funds. After discussions with the SAWC it was agreed that she should join their team.

After joining the College full time at the outset of 2020, Lee-Anne continues her work as the campaign manager for Our Horn is not Medicine.
