The Sabi Sand Nature Reserve in Greater Kruger experienced zero rhino poaching incidents in more than 500 days. The prestigious private reserve attributed the feat to several measures, including cutting-edge technologies like surveillance drones, real-time tracking, and AI-powered tools. Among the entities the reserve thanked for the technological solution to help combat poaching is the Connected Conservation Foundation (CCF). The CCF is working with 19 reserves across Africa and South America to test and improve tech solutions for conservation. Aside from Sabi Sand, its field partners include Madikwe, African Parks, Loisaba Conservancy, and Lapalala Wilderness.
