Hi, Anti Rhino Poaching Unit in South Africa is looking for a R44 or something similar. The helicopter is to deploy reaction team/s to poacher sightings, arrest them before they hack the horns off the rhinos whist still alive. Due to dirt tracks, hostile terrain and vast distances, they can not always get to the target areas quick enough. Aerial support is absolutely imperative!! We are desperate for funding to purchase Microlights for aerial tracking/surveillance and UAV operations for projects throughout Africa.
