About Dutch UAS Foundation

The rhino is a beautiful animal to see in the wild
The rhino is an amazing animal who lives on the wild plains of Africa. Seeing rhinos in the wild, as some of us know, is a thrilling experience.

The rhino is killed by poachers, and this has to be stopped!
In increasingly high numbers the rhino is killed for his horn.
The horn is sold in Asia for 60.000 dollar per kilo, which is more than the value of gold.

We develop smart algorithms to protect the rhino
We find the information that the ranger needs.
We help rangers planning their operations.
