Helicopter Wildlife Management

 

Monitoring, herding, darting, and protecting wildlife from the air is an effective and efficient conservation tool. At BAC Helicopters, we provide expert helicopter wildlife management services throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, utilising our extensive experience in the field.

 BAC Helicopters holds an Aircraft Operating Certificate (AOC No: SACAA.AOC.0001-501-N1105D/G1106D), ensuring a professional and balanced approach to the use of helicopters in wildlife conservation.

Our team of highly experienced game capture pilots specialises in helicopter wildlife management services across Southern Africa. Based in Ballito, we have assisted extensively throughout KwaZulu-Natal and have played vital roles throughout Africa, partnering with African Parks in South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Kenya, and Benin.

Helicopter Wildlife Management Projects

 

We are proud to have played a role in various significant African conservation projects, such as ‘500 Elephants’, carried out by African Parks during 2016 and 2017, which involved the translocation of five hundred of these massive animals to a new home within Malawi. Heligistix provided the helicopter capture service for this hugely successful project.

A significant portion of the work carried out by Heligistix revolves around rhino conservation. On a daily basis we play a supporting role to the wildlife conservation industry, in the fight to save this endangered species from the slippery slope towards extinction.

 It is a privilege and gives us great satisfaction to work with and support, some of the most renowned and respected conservationists of our time. Heligistix is committed to our ongoing service to wildlife
