PRESS RELEASE
TANAPA RECEIVE
ANTI-POACHING AIRCRAFT FROM GERMANY
Germany Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier yesterday
handed over symbolic key of two Husky aircrafts to Tanzania National Parks and
Tanzania Wildlife Authority respectively. The aircrafts will be used for
anti-poaching operations in the protected areas.
Director General of TANAPA Allan Kijazi said that the
aircrafts would take the joint approach by the Germany Government through
Frankfurt Zoological Society, TANAPA and TAWA to tackle poaching in the
protected areas.
The Husky A-1C is an ideal plane for monitoring and
anti-poaching surveys as it operates at low heights and slow speeds-similar to
that of a helicopter and has proven long-term success rate for its use in
finding poacher camps and recording GPS positions for follow-up actions by
teams on the grounds.
The Huskies will be used to monitor two of Tanzania’s
elephant hotspots, Selous Game Reserve and Serengeti National Park.
Tanzania is home to some of the most elephant and
rhino populations on the planet but of recent days it has experienced a severe
threat from a massive upsurge in poaching.
