ZIMBABWE ANTI POACHING AERIAL SUPPORT

POACHED RHINO is growing by the day............ Subject to funding, ZAPAS  will have one central base from which to deploy pilots to required areas. The ultimate aim is to have many secretly located bases covering all high threat areas in Africa. WE ALREADY HAVE A BASE SET UP IN ZIMBABWE Although microlight aircraft can cover great distances, to save fuel on unnecessary journeys and to enable speedy deployment, it is important to have those bases near or in high threat areas. Between 1 and 5 microlights will  hopefully operate from each base.
Initial funding is required to purchase microlights, solar panels, camping equipment and to establish satellite communication, Pilots are volunteering their services for free to help eradicate Rhino Poaching by supplying Air Support.  Microlights provide one of the simplest and most cost effective forms of aerial surveillance, Comparably this offers incredibly low operational costs. They are also excellent aerial platforms for patrolling perimeter game park fences, spotting any suspicious activity, and linking up with anti rhino poaching units on the ground.

We have already built up a database of Volunteer Pilots, now we need FUNDING to supply our initial Microlight fully kitted out with aerial tracking equipment,GPS, internal and GTA radios.

Please donate to this very worthy cause, any amount donated will make a difference and you can be proud in saying you did your bit to SAVE THE RHINO
