In Bardia National Park in Nepal, poaching rangers are learning how to operate UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), which conservationists plan to use against illegal wildlife poaching. Hopefully, the non-lethal vehicle should catch heavily-armed poachers in the act, and scare others away. Another advantage is that this can keep the park rangers out of harm's way. Nepal is home to tiger, rhino, and elephant species that are teetering on the edge because of poaching, and, with poaching records reaching new highs, now is the time to take strict action on this subject. I give my sincere thanks to the rangers in various national parks that help make sure this issue is getting attention and, hopefully,is halted.
