The protection of nature, wildlife, and hunting grounds relies heavily on the discreet but essential work of private game wardens. Present in the field, they ensure compliance with regulations and actively participate in the sustainable management of natural areas.
TheAssociation of Private Guards of the Walloon Region, also known by the acronym A.G.P.R.W., brings together active private guards in Wallonia. The association works to support these field actors, promote their role, and improve knowledge related to territory surveillance.
The role of the private guard
The private game warden plays an important role in the management of rural areas and hunting zones. He carries out a surveillance mission and contributes to compliance with the rules relating to wildlife, hunting and the environment.
In the field, their missions may include:
monitoring hunting territories
ensuring compliance with regulations
preventing poaching
protecting wildlife
raising awareness of respect for nature
An association dedicated to private guards
TheA.G.P.R.W.was created to bring together private guards from the Walloon region and support their activities.
The association acts notably to:

These actions help strengthen the skills of the guards and better structure their work in the field.
Training and experience sharing
One of the important missions of the association is also to encourage training and the improvement of knowledge.

wildlife management
environmental legislation

Exchanges among members also allow for sharing experiences gained in the field and improving practices.
An important role in the fight against poaching
The presence of private guards helps limit certain illegal activities, particularly poaching.
Thanks to their knowledge of the territory and their regular patrols, they can:
detect suspicious behavior
report offenses
prevent certain illegal practices
This surveillance contributes to the protection of wildlife and the respect of the rules governing hunting.
Private guards at the heart of rural areas
Private guards mainly operate in rural and forested areas. Their role often goes beyond simple surveillance.
They also participate in:
wildlife observation
monitoring animal populations
preventing certain nuisances

These actions help maintain a balance between human activities and biodiversity.
