You may be wondering what we are using our donation money for... The answer is a conservation drone, a little airplane that takes pictures and records wildlife. They might not sound expensive but a drone can cost up $1500 to $2000. The reason for the high price? These aren't normal airplanes, they can fly for about 25 kilometers and record for 50 minutes. They are less expensive than a satellite image and are more efficient. They can be used to find out more about the Sumatran Tigers like their population, as well as able to find out more about how palm oil plantations are affecting the forest. This helps us find better ways to help save our tigers!
As of Friday, our total raised was $1222.50, which means we don't have much more to go! In our last two days our goal is to make $500 more. We can do it!
