AREND fights poaching of rhinos for horns used in Chinese Medicine

Wildlife conservation needs support to protect rhinos, elephants and other endangered species from cruel poaching. Rhino horns are used in Chinese medicine, and China has a major industry in carving of ivory. AREND is a sensor aircraft for aerial surveillance specialized for detecting people and large animals, among other things. Jean Koster and her team of students are developing this technology to help fight rhino hunting in Africa. CAS Luncheon Series. Lunch will be provided.
