Poaching deterrents.
1. Good patrol work by army
2. Good intelligence systems. Until late 1970s, the King gave rewards of up to $400 for information leading to the arrest of poachers. An intelligence system was set up in 1984 but terminated in 1988 due to government cut-backs and difficulty of accountability. From 1991, the International Trust for Nature conservation has given about $45 a month for informers.
