Please would you help us to conserve and protect our environment by letting us know of environmental organisations or individuals who need our assistance, or by forwarding this newsletter to conservation or environmental agencies that could benefit from an aerial perspective. Please remember that we do not fly for the benefit of any commercial enterprise, and we do not transport people from place to place.

2009 Missions

Peace Parks Foundation and the TFCAs

Mission: Assist with the acquisition of still and video photography for the making of a TV series on the Peace Parks
Date: September, October and December 2009
Requesting organisation: Peace Parks Foundation
Location: Six trans-frontier conservation areas bordering on South Africa
Pilot: Craig McKenzie

In September 2009 we were asked by the Peace Parks Foundation to assist with the acquisition of still and video photography for the making of a TV series on the Peace Parks. This project will cover six trans-frontier conservation areas (TFCAs) bordering on South Africa and it is being undertaken in conjunction with the Natural History Unit Africa (NHU). Bateleurs pilot Craig McKenzie flew the first of these missions for us, over the Kgalagadi, in September. Since then we have flown a second mission over Ais Ais and the Richtersveld, in October, and we anticipate flying a further two missions for the Peace Parks Foundation during December. We hope that our next newsletter will include reports from all four of these missions, and perhaps more.
