But, sadly, there is a catch. When Snitch approached the various anti-poaching NGOs – which number around 18 in Africa alone – he was rebuffed. Some groups already use some satellite imagery. However, most do not. And none expressed any desire to co-operate; instead the charities simply told him to send money instead. Even when he offered to use his team of scientists, with access to US or Israeli military drones for free, there was no interest in his idea.
但遗憾的是,出现了一个蹊跷的情况。当斯尼奇与各种各样的反偷猎非政府组织(仅在非洲就有18家左右)接触时,他遭到了冷遇。有些组织已经使用了一些卫星图片。但大多数组织没有使用。斯尼奇接触的所有这些非政府慈善组织都表示没有兴趣合作,相反,这些组织只是告诉他捐钱就行了。即便他表示自己的科学家团队可以帮忙,而且科学家们可以免费使用美国或以色列的军用无人机,这些组织还是对他的想法不感兴趣。
Why? Snitch thinks that part of the problem may be that the NGOs felt threatened by his novel idea; if an outsider came into “their territory, with a technology that might reduce the poaching problem, the raison d’être of these wildlife funds might be undermined – and thus their ability to raise money. “In a weird way, these folks would rather turn down the offer of free help to save the rhinos, than be put in a position where their annual report states that fewer animals are being taken by poachers, he fumes.
