The Thanda Foundation Trust was established to address the socio-economic, educational, and developmental needs of the three tribal communities adjacent to Thanda Safari in the Umkhanyekude district. They actively work on addressing unemployment and engage in various conservation initiatives.
In 2023, in partnership with Thanda Safari, the Trust took a ground-breaking step in wildlife conservation by introducing AI-enabled collars to protect its endangered rhino populations. The newly developed AI transmitters use algorithms to observe, learn, and analyse behaviour patterns specific to each rhino. By recognizing abnormal activities such as potential poaching attempts, territory disputes, illness, and more, an alert is sent directly to the wildlife monitor’s phone with precise GPS coordinates, enabling swift response. This project truly shows their commitment to conservation and the preservation of wildlife.
