The Kalk AP (Anti-Poaching) is a key component of CAKE's recently launched Electric Bush Bike Anti-Poaching Act initiative, which aims to help organizations in Africa combat the devastating effects of poaching on the continent's most endangered species.
Two poachers arrested Our "Eye in the Sky" aerial surveillance has discovered eleven rhino carcasses in the greater Kruger Park area in the last two months. A number that is shocking. On the positive side, these sightings by pilot Bruce McDonald have enabled the ground teams (including our K9 unit "Dogs4Rhinos") to respond immediately. Two poachers were apprehended as a result. The surveillance also led to a rhino orphan being rescued and relocated to a safe place. A pack of wild dogs was also moved to a safer area.
There is no doubt that 2021 will be another challenging year. But one thing is certain: we at Friends of African Wildlife and the College will continue to fulfill our educational mission to preserve our nature.
The months of intensive work have paid off: our local project coordinator, the Southern African Wildlife College, has passed the South African Ministry of Health's audit and is now officially a Covid-19-compliant educational institution. This means that some of the students can return to the college.
We are delighted: our annual charity event raised over 30,000 francs, which we can now use in full for our projects in Africa. But it's not just the financial result that is great. The event itself was also a complete success. Would you like to find out more? Click here for the picture gallery:
