We began from very humble beginnings, with two innovators developing drone technologies in their Auckland garage in New Zealand. 

​

When our co-founders Cameron Baker and Samuel Vye found themselves spearheading an aerial baiting project in the Galapagos, they carved a valuable niche for the company. That initial project evolved into the world’s first successful eradication of invasive rat species using drones, enabling protection of threatened native seabird species. 

​

The project gained global recognition and support from the likes of film star and producer Leonardo DiCaprio. People couldn’t believe we were building these drones in a garage back in Auckland.

​

From those small beginnings, we have become the global leader in aerial drone baiting and are the first to offer a full technology ecosystem for the conservation sector. We now offer solutions and expert advice for pest eradication, defence of precious wildlife, and native fauna regeneration and afforestation.

​

Market demand drives our innovation focus, and our Maori values, including kaitiakitangi (the belief that we are all guardians and protectors of the environment) underpin how we approach our work.

​

We dream that one day New Zealand's treasured national icon, the kiwi bird, will be safe to join us in our back yards once again.
