Mputsu Wildlife Protection Services (“MWPS”)consists of a team of technology experts seeking to enhance conservation best practices through the practical application of new software, hardware and field methods.
MWPS aim to establish research camps in a number of government owned and private conservation locations. Research camps will be located in remote natural environments and will consist of housing facilities, personnel, research equipment and communications infrastructure. These test sites will provide a live environment to develop, refine and demostrate the latest in technology based conservation applications.
In response to the poaching crisis faced by our country, MWPS will provide air support over the conservation areas that harbor our rhino and other endangered species.
Aerial surveillance forms a key part of the fight against animal poaching in our vast national parks and conservation areas, but the high running cost of traditional aeroplanes and helicopters means that they can not always be used efficiently.
MWPS has found a workable solution to this problem. Through the use of a Light Sport Aircraft called a Bat Hawk, we are able to provide air support for extended periods of time due to the Bat Hawk’s low running cost
MWPS’s support is not exclusively for the rhino anti-poaching teams. We offer air support for the conservation of all endangered wildlife including lion, leopard, elephant and even our indigenous flora.
