Mara Conservancy – Security plays a key role

Jan. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Mara Conservancy, a not-for-profit management company, was set up as a response to the concern of the local leaders about the levels of mismanagement in the Mara Triangle, the North Western section of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, in Kenya.
A list of their ongoing achievements and goals include among others: improving infrastructure within the Triangle; maintaining a network of secondary roads and tracks to improve wildlife viewing; strengthening relationships between the Reserve and the surrounding areas by encouraging community projects and reward schemes for co-habiting with wildlife.

Mara Conservancy manages the Mara Triangle with a fleet of seven vehicles that are fitted with Frotcom tracking devices. Additionally, Seiya Ltd., which is managing the Mara North Conservancy, has a fleet of six vehicles where Frotcom tracking devices are installed.
According to Charles Gitau Ngugi, Finance & Administration Manager, “Frotcom devices have played a key role in the following areas: ensuring that security surveillance is carried out only at designated areas within Kenya and Tanzania borders; warnings are sent when vehicles go beyond the authorized radius; ensuring proper handling of vehicles by reporting over speeding; enforcing park rules – max speed allowed within the Park is 50km per hour; monitoring fuel consumption aimed at improving efficiency; satellite tracking which acted as an anti-theft device by giving us almost real time alerts on where our vehicles are.”
