Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a large game reserve near Mount Kenya in Kenya. It has a lot of various wildlife, including black rhinos (which are endangered), white rhinos, elephants, leopards, lions and chimpanzees. These animals need protection from poachers and crime syndicates because many of them are prized for their qualities like ivory. However, Ol Pejeta Conservancy has only 190 rangers, and only 40 of those are armed. The criminals are heavily armed and like to focus their criminal activities on privately-owned game reserves. As you might think, security is expensive for these parks and not all of them can afford it. In response to their need for better protection, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy is planning to try something new to provide security to their wildlife. This innovation is unmanned aerial drones. The drones will help monitor and the wildlife at the park. They will also be monitoring any poachers that might be visiting the park. Do you think the unmanned drones will help provide additional protection?
