2. Global Supplies is owned and managed by JJ van Altena.
JJ spent seven years in the Kruger National Park (KNP) where he was involved with game
capture, Elephant contraception research and management. 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 the past 19 years 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 individual 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

clients satisfaction. There is no project that doesn’t get tackled with the passion and
