Hi, are you looking to import these? Do you have any import tax considerations? This could impact which models you buy. I have been using Acorn models, very reliable and provide photo and 4K video with sound options.

Best wishes

Netty,

I was recently working with a client integrating Internet of Things hardware alerts through EarthRanger to automatically create a work order and dispatch fieldworkers to deal with the alert issue. Unfortunately the client has become very busy and the work put on hold, but we are interested in completing the integration to the benefit of all those using EarthRanger. Do you have a contact at EarthRanger who we could deal with directly?

Elsa

Hi @DavidGlobalDroneForum , I have attended ICTC and tried to be in the drone-related sessions as much as possible. I'm am not based in Africa but very much would like to better understand how drones are being used there as the organisation I work for are keen to increase the use of drones in that area. Would be happy to contribute in some way with reflections depending on timeline. Unfortunately I won't attend the conference in Kenya in person. I have also signed up to the Drone WG so was hoping to share something then too!

Hello Macayle

It is of great pleasure that there is this opportunity coming to East Africa. I would like to attend this. Do you have any recommendation for funding  a student to attend such a forum? I will share this opportunity with our East Africa WhatsApp group too.

Macayle Rose Guerin

2 February 2026 2:33am

Hi Susan, 

Thank you for your message. 

I apologise, but as we are a non-profit and mostly volunteer-run, we are presently unable to provide funding support to people to travel to Nairobi for the forum. 

Thank you for sharing WiCF with the whatsapp community; that’s lovely of you!

I can write up an official letter of invitation if that would help with a university bursary application, and WiCF attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for the day. 

I have a small invitation flyer; feel free to share this with others who may be interested. 

Kind regards,

Macayle

Are these two different forums; one in Mombasa and other in Nairobi? can you make me understand please?

Hi Susan, We are just organising the one – Global Conservation Tech and Drone Forum 2-6 March in Nairobi. Women in Conservation Forum is a one-day forum on 2nd March, part of the wider GCTDF. https://www.gctdf.org/agenda I was merely mentioning the Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa because of its importance in marine conservation.

Hi @DavidGlobalDroneForum  
I’m a Kenyan founder working on iSafari, a mobile sightings and ranger‑support platform for guides and conservancies here. We’re trying to bridge the gap between what guides/rangers know on the ground and structured data that can actually inform decisions.

We’d really love for our small startup team to be in the room at GCTDF 2026, both to learn from the drone and data tracks and to explore where tools like ours can plug into ongoing work with KWS and other partners.

Are there any provisions for early‑stage African startups (discounted tickets, showcase slots, or any support) who want to contribute but are still bootstrapping?

Macayle Rose Guerin

30 January 2026 4:40am

Hi Aly, 

Sorry for the late reply, I hope you're well. Your work with rangers sounds awesome. 

On our booking platform for GCTDF, we have various ticket price categories, such as $150 USD for the week for African-based NGOs and academics, or $450 USD for the week for African for-profit businesses. https://eventsmo.com/en/event/global-conservation-tech-drone-forum 

Here are our conference tracks https://www.gctdf.org/conference-tracks 

And our speaker submission platform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdzmJGugU1bkG8W9-jp3h-_q4d8VDDabAcfSQxYT-UPVEOxFw/viewform https://www.gctdf.org/speaking 

Thanks for reaching out! Best wishes, 

Macayle Guerin
