New anti poaching technology in South Africa - Catherine - 02-13-2020 Kruger National Park in South Africa has new anti poaching technology to help protect the Rhinos. It is a system of solar powered sensors that has been labeled "Meercat". It is an appropriate name because like a meercat this system watches for danger and alerts when anything is sensed. This enables the rangers to act in time to protect the rhinos. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/12/tech/kruger-postcode-meerkat-poaching-intl/index.html This is great. The poachers use technology to hunt the animals. Now we are using technology to protect the animals. It gives the rhinos a fighting chance. Too many animals have already been killed. If this helps stop poaching in Kruger National Park then I hope they can use the technology elsewhere to save animals from poachers.

The new technology to protect the animals sounds very nice, i wonder why it was not invented before some years while the poachers use some technology to hunt the animals for longtime.

It might be a matter of funding. |
