as for aerial surveys of areas under threat from sources such as mining, or due to water depletion by farming and industry.

The general aviation sector has responded magnificently to the challenges of our society by becoming world leaders in providing aircraft ideally suited for the low and slow flights for game observation work. Notable in this regard is the SkyReach BushCat which has become the aircraft of choice due to its low costs, high wing and safe slow speed characteristics.

Other aircraft which have become widely used in the fight against rhino poaching and nature conservation include the Savannah, the Bat hawk and the Jabiru. SA Flyer was one of the founder sponsors of the Gemfields Jabiru which has done so much invaluable work for the private game reserves in the Combined Reserves Greater Kruger Park area.

General Aviation’s Massive Contribution

General aviation makes a huge contribution to not just conservation – but the whole South African economy and quality of life. Thus, in nature conservation we have the magnificent efforts of the Flying For Freedom Rhino conservation foundation (see box) and the work of the Bateleurs which provides pilots and planes in support of conservation as well

Helicopters have their own unique role in the fight against poachers and Gerry McDonald in Hoedspruit and Tokkie Botha in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces have done fantastic work. And then of course there is the doyen of helicopter wildlife operators – SA Flyer’s long running columnist John Bassi, who uses his JetRanger from one end of South Africa to the other. j John Bassi in action with his Bell JetRanger.

FLYING FOR FREEDOM

AS THE FOUNDER and driving force behind his registered and approved non-profit organisation, Flying For Freedom SA (FFFSA), Tokkie Botes has donated over 1,000 hours of flying in his Bell 206 to the service of conservation in Southern Africa.

Tokkie and his crew use his Bell 206B JetRanger as a very effective tool in the ongoing war against the ravages of rhino poaching. Tokkie makes his helicopter available at a moment’s notice to assist ground forces in capturing rhino poachers, who have been known to turn their rifles on approaching helicopters.

Flying For Freedom also assists by flying veterinarians to snared animals; conducting aerial surveys of vultures, and defending the habitat of the nocturnal riverine rabbit, the most endangered mammal in South Africa.

Such is the demand for his services that Tokkie flies his helicopter almost daily to patrol for signs of poachers, deliver vets to wounded rhinos, and sometimes fly orphaned rhino calves to safety.

Tokkie pays for fuel and maintenance of the helicopter out of his own pocket because he and others like him are committed to protecting rhinos from extinction. Tokkie and his wife Marina manage to pay a large part of the huge operating costs with the support of Skuurpoort Verspreiders, his fuel distribution company.

Tokkie is approved by the South African Parks Board to fly his helicopter throughout the Kruger Park to assist anti-poaching operations. He has been awarded the SANParks Kudu Awards for his commitment to anti-poaching and environmental crime investigations in the Kruger National Park.
