Kulinda - Avy UAV 2018

Wildlife conservation UAV

One of Kulinda’s current projects is to create an unmanned aircraft specialised for wildlife conservation. The advantage of having (affordable) ‘eyes in the sky’ in wildlife park management is a no-brainer. Kulinda has partnered up with aviation company Avy to create the perfect wildlife conservation aircraft solution. The Avy Wildlife UAV has wings, but lifts off like a drone with propellers.

Rhino Art Project

One of the Kulinda founders and conceptual artist Vincent Mock, has created art sculptures from three Rhino skulls, that were donated by Marakele National Park. Vincent gave his Rhinos a new horn made from solid crystal glass and asked tho Chinese master calligraphers to carve an ancient Chinese text about the importance of nature into the skull. The art pieces are used to raise awareness as well as funding for projects for Rhino conservation. 

Kulinda Personal Project Grant 2020/2021 will go to Jaime Dias, the young founder of Wings for Conservation,
