News: GPS helps protect endangered wildlife

In Namibia hi-tech is now being used in the battle between Park Rangers and Poachers, but it is also able to act as a warning system for farmers.

Livestock farmers have always been vulnerable to predation of their animals. This is mainly from the populations of large cats. In the past the main option for the shepherds has been to shoot the predators, but GPS is changing this.

In a project featuring a cheetah called Joris, named after a 7 year old who sponsors the cat, GPS collars are being fitted to big cats to track them. This allows the conservationists to alert farmers when the predators move towards the livestock and allow the farmer to manage their stock in a way that prevents confrontation with and eventual killing of the cats.
