Take a look at the many opportunities we have for you to get involved.
Due to poaching incidents in our area, we purchased a Bat Hawk light surveillance aircraft. The Bat Hawk assists in conservation efforts by conducting safety, security, anti-poaching patrols, and associated conservation work such as game counts, darting from the air, and location of wounded animals for the wider Mabula area, some 50 000 km2.
We are creating a DNA database of the South African elephant population to safeguard the future of the species. Firstly, A DNA database is important for monitoring inbreeding and the predisposition of disease. Secondly, being able to link ivory to specific elephants in specific areas assists authorities in identifying poaching hotspots.
The Rory Hensman Elephant Research and Conservation Unit hosts an annual Walk with Elephants Event. Our goal is to raise awareness about the significant contribution these elephants are making towards various research projects.
