This addition has given our team new abilities to locate animals in need of care or protection, as well as to detect and act on threats. We saw the positive results of this new piece of equipment when the drone&#8217;s heat camera detected seven poachers in the dark right outside the reserve. The team acted immediately and deterred the poachers before they entered the reserve.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18200 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wildhood.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/akashinga-cred-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wildhood.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/akashinga-cred-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.wildhood.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/akashinga-cred-1-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.wildhood.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/akashinga-cred-1-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1200px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The continuous training for the Akashinga rangers includes fitness, patrol tactics, first aid, survival skills, and leadership development.
