Life Saving Technology Protecting Endangered Species

  
One rhino is killed every 11 hours in Africa.

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is making global impact. The organization plans to install state of the art camera technology to better protect endangered wildlife in Kenya. These camera traps, installed in poaching hotspots, will be equipped with sensors that will instantly transmit images of intruders, detect vibrations from vehicles, and sounds of gunshots. Park Rangers can then identify the location of poachers and act immediately.

The organization, winner of fan favourite for Google's Global Impact Challenge, is hoping the project will reduce poaching incidents in a Kenyan protected area by 50% in the next two years.
