A conservation multiplier built in the field

Sentala is a non-profit creating purpose-built conservation monitoring technology

Our mission

We equip conservationists with the tools to see more, respond faster, and protect what matters most

How Sentala works

When conservationists need to see beyond ridge lines and into valleys, Sentala takes flight

Drones act as a digital scout – fusing diverse data sources with real-time visibility to detect what the human eye can’t whether at night, through dense bush, or across vast distances

“The promise of drone applications for conservation has been tantalizingly close for years. Sentala's platform and the program behind it are bringing that promise within reach."

A unified platform designed to scale

Combining endurance drones, long range communications, and real-time data – Sentala enables 24/7 monitoring and coordinated action across vast landscapes

Better visibility helps teams understand what is happening across vast areas of protected land
