PRECISION WILDLIFE MONITORING USING DRONES

Description:
Wildlife drones can be used in many ways, from small multi-rotor units that can scare invasive birds away from crops, to fixed-wing aircraft that fly above rainforests to spot orangutan nests. UAVs have also been shown to provide more precise data than traditional ground-based techniques. Ecologists are increasingly using drones to gather data. Scientists have used remotely piloted aircraft to estimate the health of fragile polar mosses to measure and predict the mass of leopard seals and even to collect whale snot. Drones have also been labelled as game-changers for wildlife population monitoring. Drones do indeed generate accurate wildlife population data even more accurate than those collected the old-fashioned way. To access the accuracy of wildlife count data, it can’t be sure of the true number of animals present in a group of wild animals. So, to overcome this uncertainty, a life-sized replica sea bird colony is created each with a known number of individuals. The increased count precision afforded by UAV’S along with their ability to survey hard-to-reach populations and places will likely drive many wildlife monitoring projects that relay on population counts to transition from traditional methods to UAV technology
