Скачать или смотреть Towering over Zinave: The Power of Tracking Technology

Phumlani Mbanjwa, Peace Parks' ICT Support Technician in Mozambique, takes us to the top of a lofty communications tower! Zinave National Park, with its vast expanse and limited reception, is a complex working environment demanding high security. Ensuring 100% network functionality and wide network coverage is an essential for Peace Parks' management team and a significant responsibility for Phumlani; climbing 30 m to upgrade the tower’s radio antennae is critical, and not for the faint-hearted.

Through Peace Parks' infrastructure development and implementation of cutting-edge conservation technology, LoRa is transforming the park's connectivity landscape, transmitting data crucial for monitoring wildlife, tracking park staff, and safeguarding both, to inform effective conservation strategies.

Despite its challenges, this approach offers unparalleled advantages in scalability and efficiency. “You have more capability to work smarter with fewer people,” explains Phumlani. Leveraging LoRa, and other conservation technologies, showcases the innovative strides Peace Parks is taking to protect people, wildlife and #NatureWithoutBorders in Zinave.
