The Miami-based Charitable Foundation Contributes
to Wildlife Conservation Efforts at Addo Elephant National Park in
South Africa
NORTH
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brady Hunter Foundation is
pleased to announce its partnership with Animal Survival
International (ASI), a non-profit organization that works toward
wildlife protection and habitat restoration around the globe. The
Brady Hunter Foundation and ASI have joined forces in a
collaborative effort to combat the illegal hunting and poaching of
animals at the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa to further amplify their
conservation efforts.
As part of the collaboration, the Brady Hunter Foundation has
funded the purchase of ten state-of-the-art collars, enabled with
artificial intelligence (AI), which will play a crucial role in the
real-time monitoring and detailed data analysis of rhinos and
elephants to better protect them against poaching attempts.
"This technology is crucial in understanding elephant and
rhino behaviors, movements, and their overall health," said
Luke Barritt, Campaign Director for
ASI. "The insights gained from this data are invaluable for Addo
Elephant National Park management teams, enabling them to make
informed decisions to support a species facing a decline in
population."
The anti-poaching collars donated by the Brady Hunter Foundation
utilize a combination of sophisticated sensors, GPS tracking, and
artificial intelligence algorithms to detect and deter potential
poachers. This technology not only enhances the security of
endangered animals but also provides real-time data to
conservationists, enabling more effective monitoring and response
strategies.
"This partnership holds the potential to change the way in which
we help endangered animals who are threatened by poaching and
illegal wildlife trade," said Josh
Fox, founder of the Brady Hunter Foundation. "We're
dedicated to taking tangible action in preventing poaching with
these collars."
"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Josh Fox of the Brady Hunter Foundation for
their significant involvement in animal welfare. It's truly
heartwarming to see the difference we can make when we all work
together towards our shared goals," expressed Barritt. "The Brady
Hunter Foundation's commitment is a shining example of this
collaborative spirit!"
ASI is dedicated to stopping illegal wildlife trade, as it is
one of the biggest threats to the survival of endangered species.
The support of the Brady Hunter Foundation will be incremental in
safeguarding the vulnerable rhino and elephant population at Addo
Elephant National Park.
