In 2023 the focus of Rhino poachers in South Africa has shifted from Kruger National Park to KwaZulu Natal. To date over 60% of all illegally hunted Rhinos were killed in our province.
This year Thanda Safari has started a new project using AI technology to help protecting these incredible creatures. Solar-powered foot collars collect valuable information about the Rhinos movement/behavior and transmit the data via numerous communication masts to a central database. Sophisticated AI software uses the collected data to prepare valuable information for the Thanda Wildlife Management and Reserve Security Teams.
It is estimated that less than 28,000 Rhinos are still alive on Earth with just ~20,800 of these located in Africa (White Rhinos ~16,800, Black Rhinos ~4,000).
Feel free to contact me in case you have any questions and/or if you would like to help the Rhino-protection-efforts with a donation.
