A
On the black market, ivory commands more than $1,000 per kilogram, making poaching(偷猎) a problem for African wildlife. But an American pilot is trying to end the killing by training the pilots who patrol(巡逻) the skies over Africa. Patty Wagstaff who is making a difference by helping her fellow pilots deal with difficult and life-threatening conditions.
Wagstaff is the lead teacher for a group of wildlife pilots in Kenya. “The pilots are good, basic pilots,”said Patty Wagstaff. “But they just haven’t had the training or the experience to mot make the mistakes you make when you’re not professionally trained.”
Patty Wagstaff’s pilots patrol plains, flying low to the ground at near-stall speed, looking for poachers.
“It’s so sad what’s happening,” she said. “ The poaching is getting worse. Flight is becoming more important because it’s been told by poachers that flying is the single biggest deterrent to them. So what these pilots are doing is really important.”
Red dust kicks up the heart of the afternoon as the airplanes start their engines. And any maintenance is basic. Every airplane has crashed at least once or has been shot at by poachers.
The pilots gather every year for week-long clinics. The project is funded in part by Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation, named after the famed American aviator Charles Lindbergh, who flew the first alone, non-stop flight across the Atlantic.
Patty Wagstaff says her special skills help to remove objections to being taught by a woman.
“When it all comes down to it, we get up in the air and I can show them a few things,” said Patty Wagstaff. “And if they give me any problems, I’ll just flip them upside down, so.”
Poaching decreases when these pilots are in the air. And their love of flying combines with their love of nature.
“We have this amazing resource, this global resource that you find in very few places
