00:00In the world today we have to embrace technology where we can and that includes

00:06in our business and obviously you know we're going to use whatever we can to

00:11assist us in the fight against poaching and what's interesting is it's got two

00:15components to it. You got your abnormal behavior detection but then you've also

00:20got the component where we can plan or we can program it to send us a message as

00:26often as we want all right. So when I say send us a message as often as we want

00:30the collars on the rhinos communicate with the gateway, the gateway communicates

00:34with our computers. The abnormal behavior detection is actually based on

00:39artificial intelligence and what they've done is they've taken a white rhino

00:45male, a white rhino female, black rhino male, black rhino female, put collars on

00:50them, taken all that data and through the AI they can determine what is normal

00:55behavior and what's abnormal behavior. So when we put on a collar it's got to be

00:59one that will be specifically for a white rhino female and it gets recorded as

01:03such okay. If something out of the norm happens there it'll send us either the

01:09grey, amber or red alerts. Obviously the the red being the most serious of course.

01:14It is nice because I mean your whole APU team would rely on just going out and

01:19trying to find the rhino. Yes. And me as well. Yeah. And that took up a lot of time and a lot of energy.

01:25Just doing that every day. So at least now when an alert comes through we know where

01:29the rhino is. And you know where they are. Yeah. And because the drone that we

01:33have now is linked to the system we're able to fly the drone overhead of the

01:38area so even if the rhino is in the thicket we use the thermal to be able to

01:42find the rhino and make sure that it is alright. You know we've always try to

01:48maintain as natural a system as possible but I think anybody will forgive us

01:52seeing a collar on a rhino's foot knowing that that collar is there for the

01:56protection of that animal. Yeah. Under the current current poaching onslaught that

02:01is happening. This project will be a massive undertaking by the team and they

02:06will need to dart and collar every rhino on the reserve. But this is only one of

02:11the many ways the conservation team protects and conserves this vulnerable

02:15species.
