The Wild Bike Foundation is thrilled to announce a special raffle for a chance to win a custom painted, one-of-a-kind Specialized Tero-X Wild Bike<\/a>. This initiative supports their target of deploying 50 e-bikes, in wilderness conservation projects, by the end of 2024. Each raffle ticket costs R190, with 100% of proceeds funding these vital efforts. The raffle is open until the draw on World Conservation Day, July 28, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild Bike raises funds to deploy and operate e-bikes in conservation areas around South Africa, to help with critical anti-poaching and conservation work. Not only are the bikes deployed with partner conservation projects, but they are maintained by Wild Bike to ensure their impact is sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bikes accelerate the work our partners do, whether it’s to increase patrol distances, reduce fuel and maintenance costs, or sneak up silently on naughty poachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our guys used to do these patrols on foot, in remote areas of the park. In a normal patrol of 8 hours they would cover about 10 kilometres of fence line, but with the bikes, the guys are able to cover 40 kilometres in the same time. That is a huge gain for us. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fuel and maintenance costs are some of our biggest budget items, so any time we can save fuel and maintenance on a vehicle, it means we have more money for other things on the reserve. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a problem with snaring on the reserve, but in the area where the bikes have been working we have seen snaring almost stop overnight. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The major problem with snares is that if an endangered species gets snared, then we have to intervene at huge expense. If a Rhino is snared for example, it will cost us about R50 000 to get a chopper, and a vet, to dart the animal, remove the snare and treat the wound. That’s money we can’t budget for<\/em>.<\/p>\nMeiring Prinsloo, the Somkhanda reserve manager on the impact of the bikes.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
