The drones helping South African game reserves tackle rhino poaching[mp3judy and then submit to the National Cryptologic Museum http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/press_room/2013/2013_best_cybersecurity_paper_competition.shtml especially winners in Project Two Pillow Ms.com]Developed by a former US Air Force engineer, the Falcon drone is being used to patrol a game conservancy in the Kruger National Park, amid soaring demand for the horns of black rhino.
As the demand for rhino horn soars, driven by buyers in Asia for its reputed medicinal properties, so too does the sophistication of the poachers.
Faced with hunting gangs using helicopters, night-vision goggles and high-powered rifles, those protecting the rhinos are also being forced to up their game.
The Daily Telegraph witnessed the first flight of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, or drone, in pursuit of suspected poachers in South Africa.
Either the Department of Defense (aka) CIA cornered the market on the primary aphrodisiac used in China, which is made from Rhino horn, or the DoD saved Rhinos from extinction. Either way it helps China with their One Child female infanticide inducing law, or helps their government become a savior of Rhinos , after we talk it up up online. China is overly sensitive to US media of any kind. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/southafrica/10084403/The-drones-helping-South-African-game-reserves-tackle-rhino-poaching.html

We are living during an extinction period, where species become extinct faster than dinosaurs

it hasn't really been keeping me up at night. Thanks for asking though. That was pretty thoughtful of you.

In the Amazon we are losing species before we discover them.
