In a rapidly urbanising Africa,
the endangered elephant is running out of space.
In 1940 approximately 3.5 million elephants remained in Africa
By 1980 only 1 million remained
In 2025 only 415 thousand remain
We believe that sound is the future of managing wildlife.
Uniquely designed sound solutions can target animal hearing ranges at various distances to influence migratory behaviour.
Combining architecture, ecology and audio engineering is the answer.
Elephants are “ecosystem engineers”.
They have incredible power to transform landscapes by their presence.
Elephants therefore can and must be guided in a positive way to restore degraded land.
Solutions:
Mobile Infrasound device
Deploy a mobile infrasound system to deter elephant herds from unwanted spaces.
Gate
Place an automated AI elephant gate along a boundary for immediate range expansion.
Elephant Tower
Erect an infrasound tower to maximise reach in communicating with the elephants to establish corridors and gathering points.
