Drones, havic eyes in the sky for nature conservation
The power of drones in wildlife management
In the world of wildlife management, where efficiency and precision are crucial, drone technology offers a revolution. Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) open up a range of possibilities previously unthinkable. In particular, drones such as the Autel EVO II prove themselves as indispensable tools for conservationists.
Management of protected areas:
Monitoring flora and fauna: Drones effortlessly fly over forests, wetlands and other habitats to map animal and plant populations, track migration patterns and protect endangered species. The Autel EVO II's high-resolution cameras make it possible to observe animals in detail without disturbing them.
Assessment of forest fires: Drones provide detailed images of forest fires, which is crucial for coordinating extinguishing actions and determining damage extent. The Autel EVO II can even take thermal images, revealing fires in dense smoke clouds.
Environmental monitoring:
Water quality study: Drones collect water samples and perform measurements to detect pollution and algal blooms. The Autel EVO II is waterproof and can therefore land safely on the surface of water for sample collection.
Erosion assessment: Drones analyse coastlines and riverbanks to monitor erosion and protect shorelines. The Autel EVO II's accurate GPS navigation provides detailed and reliable measurements.
Ecosystem management:
Habitat mapping: Drones create detailed habitat maps, which helps manage threatened ecosystems and plan wildlife restoration projects. A professional drone can collect different types of data, such as photos, videos and 3D scans, resulting in comprehensive habitat maps.
Control of unwanted plants and animal species: Drones detect and monitor invasive plants and animals, enabling rapid control actions. Using artificial intelligence, the drone can automatically recognise invasive species, making monitoring more efficient.
Detecting bird nests and animals in mowing areas: A crucial task
One of the most valuable applications of drones in wildlife management is tracking bird nests with nesting eggs and animals in mowing areas. By scanning areas with drones prior to mowing, conservationists can locate nests and animals and protect them from destruction. The Autel EVO II is perfect for this purpose thanks to:
High-resolution camera: The Autel EVO II's 20-megapixel camera makes it possible to observe nests and animals in detail, even at long distances.
Zoom function: The Autel EVO II's 8x optical zoom lens can focus even closer, making even small animals and nests easily visible.
Thermal camera: The Autel EVO II's optional thermal camera can detect animals in dense vegetation or at dusk, making them less visible.
Accurate GPS navigation: The Autel EVO II can navigate with precision, providing accurate maps
