And in our last story for tonight, we take you to a summit that conservation NGOs held last month.
Representatives of several of those NGOs attended, and they exchanged ideas and experiences about the latest conservation techniques, including a SMART conservation Tool, which uses GIS technology and mapping to aid the rangers and other enforcement personnel in the conversation community to carry out patrols and catalog their findings.
