New Design. New Home.

Screen Shot 2013-05-09 at 1.19.02 PM

I decided to switch to a new design and re-focus the blog. This is my last post on thevotoblog.com. My new blog will focus more on behind the scenes work for the videos and graphics that I create. I’m also changing the URL because some of my posts will be a bit more personal from now on. So if you’d like to join me my new online home will be at: http://alexrmz.com/

I’m making the last adjustments to the blog so my first new post will be up in about 2 day.

Using Drones to Protect Wildlife

Drone to fight illegal wildlife trade and poaching : wwf in Nepal park

Read the full article HERE: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/feb/07/wwf-wildlife-drones-illegal-trade

Conservation group WWF has announced plans to deploy surveillance drones to aid its efforts to protect species in the wild, as the South African government revealed that 82 rhinos had been poached there since the new year.

WWF’s three-year project also involves combining data from unmanned aerial vehicles, cheap mobile phone technology tracking animal movements, and handheld devices carried by rangers, in a bid to outsmart often heavily armed poachers who bribe corrupt officials to avoid patrols and find wildlife.

Drones are already being used by conservationists to monitor wildlife, such as orangutan populations in Sumatra, anti-whaling activists are using them against the Japanese whaling fleet, and a charity in Kenya recently beat its target of raising $35,000 in crowdfunding for a drone to protect rhinos and other wildlife in the country’s Laikipia district.
