New Zealand calls on drones to halt Māui dolphin extinction Environmental News Wellington, New Zealand – In 2018, a grasshopper skipper mistakenly caught the Māui dolphin spot on a net on the Taranaki coast of the North Island of the New Cross.

In countries such as Rwanda and Ghana, logistics companies like Zipline have developed and currently operate drones that deliver much-needed medical supplies to rural hospitals. Such distribution solutions may also have a role to play in rural parts of South Africa where roads are often poor. But drones can potentially function as much more than just unmanned, flying delivery vehicles.
