Securing the future of Mali's desert elephants, and helping local people in community-based natural resource management.

We work with @ChengetaWild using #drones for reconnaissance in certain areas in #Mali. It is essential that we fly over zones where it is not practical to use vehicles, to ensure the safety of our movements in areas of Mali.
