Conservation Missions

Across Africa's vast and often inaccessible landscapes, aircraft are vital for effective wildlife conservation. Our light aircraft offers a unique aerial perspective, enabling us to efficiently monitor wildlife populations, assess the health of critical habitats, and respond rapidly to emerging threats. This aerial capability is especially crucial in remote regions where ground access is limited or non-existent, allowing us to reach and protect wildlife populations that would otherwise be beyond our grasp.

Mission Objectives

Aerial Surveillance
Detect poachers, illegal camps, illegal cattle grazing and other illicit activities in order to direct the deployment of ranger teams on the ground.
​

Mitigate human wildlife conflict

Help redirect wildlife that is in close proximity to local communities, helping to prevent conflicts and promote coexistence.
​
Digital Aerial Surveys
Deploy and develop new automated oblique camera systems for wildlife surveys with the help of AI and deep learning for data analysis to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and reduce the cost of surveys.​
​​​

Ecological monitoring and research

Data collection on wildlife populations and ecosystems, informing conservation strategies and supporting habitat protection & restoration efforts.
​
Protected area management & creation
Strategic guidance for the effective management of protected areas and help identify key areas for future conservation efforts.
