Wildlife Conservation

Some of the world’s most incredible species are wildlife, and Africa is known for having the best share. Wildlife accounts for 7% of the world’s tourism, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). In Africa, where wildlife watching accounts for 80% of tours, the economic value of the sector cannot be understated. With an impressive market size, estimated at $150 billion, globally, in 2022, the industry is expected to grow significantly in the next ten years. The wildlife population across the world continues to face severe threats, however. 

Poaching, habitat loss, environmental pollution and invasive species are increasingly causing harm to the natural world. Without adequate protective measures, not only would several species be extinct: Climates, economies and human health would continue to be impacted adversely. Strategic Aviation Services is confident about General Aviation as part of the solution. 

In partnerships with governments and other organizations, including locals, SAS provides essential services that allow for a safe operating environment for wildlife and humans. Our pilots and aviation specialists are trained to use various aircraft, including drones, to monitor wildlife, deliver vaccines, administer tranquilizers and more. The goal is to prevent non-native species from destroying wildlife, wildlife from posing threats to humans and agriculture, and humans from endangering wildlife.
