Jeep will host an evening with Scott Williams, the director general of Reserve Protection Agency, on 23 February from 5.30pm to 6pm in Midrand.
Williams is a United States combat veteran with 17 years of service in the US military and is now utilising his military skills to help in the war against poaching.
The evening will be focused on discussing and discovering the role of technology in conservation and whether or not hand-launched drones with infrared sensors, night vision and tracking tags can solve the poaching crisis.
Williams is based in the Amakhala Game Reserve where he is experimenting with integrating a range of state-of-the-art military technologies, together with self-developed prototypes.
Williams will share his story on his new initiative that is taking flight, Solve.iT.
Entry fee is R100 per person and includes refreshments and snacks.
