FfFfFfFF 58,060 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Technology is a powerful asset in wildlife conservation, and it helps conservationists give struggling species a new chance at life. Harnessing solar power is one effective strategy employed by conservationists, and in the case of one North African ostrich hatchling, it’s made a world of difference. This is the first North African ostrich hatchling to be successfully incubated in a solar field station established by the Solar Project. Founded in 2003 by WCN supporter Stephen Gold, the Solar Project provides sustainable solar energy to conservation projects around the world. Project Niger began in 2018, with Gold and his team converting shipping containers into solar-powered hatcheries and incubators to aid in the recovery of the North African ostrich population. Habitat loss and hunting have significantly reduced their numbers, making the largest subspecies of the largest bird in the world incredibly vulnerable.
