I was in the Kruger this weekend, and our guide was lamenting that they've already lost over 340 rhino this year, and said poachers keep hacking their radios and finding out where the rhino are, even when they change code they speak in. I find the chance of that to be roughly zero though - clearly a bunch of the guides have been paid off. This isn't a problem tech can solve. |

If the radios can be trusted, you feed bad data to specific people and see when the poachers show up. Seems like there are some solutions.
When I was in South Africa, the anti-poaching crews were clearly underpaid judging by their cloths, demeanor, and gear (old radios, and the ratty shotguns). If the job is so important it should be better paid.
