An African safari is probably on the top of many people's bucket lists. As the second largest continent in the world, it is widely believed to be the “cradle of humankind”. According to scholars, the beautiful name “Africa” stems from words including the Egyptian word Afru-ika, meaning “Motherland”; the Greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the Latin word aprica, meaning “sunny”.
The continent certainly lives up to its name, offering everything from the stunning tropical coastlines to the world’s second largest rainforest. And thanks to the “heartbeat” of this land – wild animals, symphonies of life unfold here every single day.
However, the stunning “heartbeat” is getting weaker. According to WWF, as humans continue to destroy forests, pollute lands, poach animals, and consume beyond the limits of the planet, in just under 50 years, earth’s wildlife populations have plunged by an average of 69%. Zooming in on Africa, since 1970, we have lost 66% of Africa’s wildlife. The urgency of animal protection has never been more critical.
Save the Hyena
A hyena accidentally stepped into a poacher's trap. With its throat clamped tightly, it fell to the ground and bled profusely. If left alone in the wild, it was doomed to death. Fortunately, a Hikvision camera spotted the wounded animal, allowing wildlife conservationists to arrive in time and release it from the trap.
The hyena is just one of the many beneficiaries of Hikvision’s advanced technologies. Products of the company were installed to watch various wild animals in Africa, including black rhinos, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, elephants, etc. The high-resolution capability of Hikvision cameras effectively helped enhance the imaging and video data quality, whether during the daytime or at night, facilitating in-depth analysis of animal behaviors for wildlife protection and educational purposes.
