Why create a safe haven for rhinos?
Saving the rhino also means protecting communities
‘Wildlife trafficking has certainly changed the game. It’s brought in the crime syndicates and that brings a whole different dimension.’
Wildlife
They’re part of our proud African heritage
Social
They stimulate job creation in communities
Economic
They attract tourists and investment
Environmental
They anchor the ecosystem for other animals and plants
What makes protecting rhinos so difficult?
Manual security processes
Visitors and staff signed a register to enter reserve gates
Basic access control
No digital security checks or identity scans before entry
Remote location, limited communication
No mobile reception or data links, only landlines
Lack of basic IT infrastructure
No network, data centre, or Internet access

Protecting the rhino by tracking people
The power of surveillance, data, analytics

CCTV/biometric scanning
Seismic sensors on the ground
Thermal imaging on perimeter
Drone cameras in the sky
