He has been on contract with Humane Society International ever since as a specialist in the field implementation of contraception vaccines.
During this time he also gained extensive experience in all aspects of various wildlife relocation projects - from Ground Hornbill to Elephant. His knowledge base extends to the diverse field of wildlife management.
JJ assisted in the aerial tracking of various collared animals within the KNP as part of on-going research projects. After leaving the Park , JJ continued with relocation efforts – including relocating the majority of Elephant populations that now occur on Private Reserves.
For almost 3 decades , JJ has been building relationships with various role players in the local as well as international conservation community through consultancy, wildlife relocation projects and providing services to Government , NGO , Private and Academic institutions throughout Africa.
Global Supplies was the result of several organizations requesting his expert advice on practical and specialized applications within the wildlife arena.
In 2010, Jaco Mattheus joined the company. He has proven to be an invaluable asset with his wealth of knowledge and experience in the wildlife industry.
Jaco started his career with a three year stint in Kruger National Park. This gave him the opportunity to get involved with all the varied aspects of wildlife management and research that was conducted in the park.
After this, Jaco worked in the Private Game Capture industry, where he gained vast experience in the capture of wildlife using various capture methods over a large spectrum of species, including the notable capture and relocation of Roan antelope from Botswana to South Africa in a landmark cross border conservation project.
In 2003, an opportunity presented itself to Jaco to take up reigns as Wildlife Manager on a large private reserve in Natal. During his eight years as Warden of this Reserve, Jaco obtained exposure to what it takes to manage a Reserve that is at the forefront of private conservation efforts.
He was also asked to give input into the formulation of an Elephant management plan by the provincial conservation authority – one of the few private individuals asked to assist due to his experience of managing Elephant populations.
He also gained invaluable insight the various telemetry options that are available to the industry, as a factor of the numerous long term research projects undertaken in the Reserve
