Drone to find Kush?

Could a drone be used to find missing animals on the Island?

Organisers are on a fundraising mission to buy the device to help trace missing creatures. 

It comes following 'Kush' - a red panda from Curraghs Wildlife Park escaping from the enclosure for the second time in three months.

Campaigners want to raise £3,000 to purchase the drone with thermal imaging technology which, they say, could find animals hidden in dense vegetation, in most weather conditions.

They've added, now Kush has escaped a second time they feel it's more urgent than ever. 

In the long term it's intended the service would run free of charge. 

So far, £500 of the £3,000 target has been raised.
