How the tracking works

 

  • Tracked via GPS collar
  • This animal’s safety guarded with the Fahlo Protection Ping™

Every Fahlo tracking experience includes the Fahlo Protection Ping™. This indicates each animal’s unique path may be live, delayed, or historical based on required safety protocol in accordance with our nonprofit partners.

While the experience of following an animal’s journey remains the same for you, we work behind the scenes with our partners to ensure this experience is presented in a way that keeps the animals safe, one step or splash at a time.

FAQ's

Why do we track elephants?

  • Save the Elephants (STE) uses GPS-tracking equipment to better understand elephant movements and behaviour. As the human population grows across Africa and the landscape gets increasingly crowded, this tracking data is key to defining and protecting elephant habitats and the corridors that link areas used by both elephants and other wildlife. To date, STE has tracked over 900 elephants!

    Using this technology they can also tell when an elephant has become unnaturally mobile – a warning that can indicate that an elephant is in trouble. These alerts are issued to wildlife management teams to allow a rapid response and can make the difference between life and death.

    STE provides Fahlo with delayed tracking data for security reasons so we’re never giving away an elephant’s live location. Despite this delay, you’ll still receive a near daily update of your elephant’s location from just a few weeks ago!

How are elephants being tracked?

  • Elephant collars contain a small transmitter and use GPS and satellite tracking technology (similar to what we use in car navigation systems). Save the Elephants monitors the location of a collared elephant at regular intervals (every 30–60 minutes). This information plays an important part in defining and protecting elephant corridors. We later plot these coordinates on a map so you can see where your Fahlo elephant has traveled!

Does tracking harm the elephants?

  • No—the collar does not harm the elephant; it is very light and sits loosely around the neck like a pendant would on us. Collaring is carefully performed by an experienced team. Firstly, an elephant is located by a ground team or from the air, then a vet will prepare and shoot a dart containing an anesthetic. A collar is fitted as quickly and safely as possible before the vet helps revive the elephant in minutes.
