Last year, high school senior Max Alger-Meyer visited Akagera National Park in Eastern Rwanda. When he heard about how the park had been heavily poached over the years and the funding struggles they face he decided to do something about it. He and fellow student Nathan Lepore are building a drone as their senior project. They hope to donate it to the park to help with anti-poaching patrols. Kyle Dyer 9News is talking to them about their ambitious project for 9NEWS at 9 and 10 tonight.
