About RPA
The Reserve Protection Agency is a progressive conservation non-profit and public benefit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving South Africa’s threatened ecosystems. RPA’s strength comes from the expertise it maintains and the strategic partnerships it forms. RPA strives to link international subject matter experts from all sectors of life that can assist with global biodiversity preservation. Consisting of a diverse team with great experience, RPA continues to build relationships with experts from other sectors to strengthen the revolutionary solution to ecological threats.
RPA’s alliance with the Jeep brand dates back to 2012 when the current partnership was formed. Since then, RPA’s distinctive and eye-catching branded Jeep Wrangler vehicles have become a familiar site on our roads, and probably a less than welcome site (for poachers) in the country’s game reserves where they have been put to good use in the fight against animal poaching.
