H125-South African National Parks

The SANPARKS Airwing Unit forms an integral part of the forces and assets employed in the WAR Against Rhino Poaching and the continuous conservation efforts of our natural heritage. The unit deals with unique financial, logistical and resource challenges, while performing their duties in a high risk and specialized environment. Without continued support and adequate resources the unit will be unable to provide a dedicated, safe and professional service. While the financial implications of maintaining a fleet of aircraft might seem daunting, the value these aircraft and crews brings to the “Battle Field” and the Conservation arena as a whole cannot be measured with a financial yard stick. The Adopt-a-Chopper initiative will ensure the continued airworthiness and safety of the SANParks aircraft.
