A
new grant from Google’s Global Impact Awards will help WWF deploy innovative
technologies — such as “conservation drones” — in the battle to protect rhinos
and other endangered species in Africa and Asia. The $5 million will enable WWF
to develop an integrated state-of-the-art system to detect and curb
wildlife trafficking.
Remote
aerial survey systems, wildlife tagging technology and ranger patrolling guided
by analytical software like the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART)
will be integrated to increase the detection and deterrence of poaching in
vulnerable sites in Asia and Africa.
