About Me:

I'm a born South. African. I grew up in the north east corner of SA Were Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique meet. The world famous Kruger national park was on my door step. I currently work in Canada, Alberta I was a wild life guide for 30 years in southern Africa.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

My interest is to save the rhino and elephant population in Africa. Most desperately are the rhinos. More than 2 are being killed per day by poachers. I want to develop a uav that the conservationists can use to spot track and arrested the poachers. Any input and information will be appreciated. Yours truly. Jaco
