Gold – $2,500-$5,000
This donation will go towards the purchase a $7,000 GPS collar to be placed on a trans-located or wild elephant, so that we can learn more about their behavior, migratory patterns & movements. The elephant’s location will be plotted against a map. Scientists can then via short-range radio signals and decoded using a custom receiver to find & track the elephant on the ground. You will receive a Certificate of Appreciation and a monthly map which will be emailed, detailing the movements of the elephant.
What an opportunity to be part of an operation to track, capture & collar a wild Borneo Female Pygmy Elephant in the Kinabatang Forest. The team consisted of a vet, wildlife rescue members, DGFC scientists, International Interns, local Malay men & myself. A total of 10.
The track, capture and collar of a wild pygmy female elephant.
We named her Koyah, which was the name of the river nearby where we caught her.
