Drone Services for Conservation Efforts

From tracking bison in North America to following a stray polar bear in the Arctic, drones can observe wildlife in a way that no human (or even aircraft) can. Drone operators are in high demand as conservation biologists and groups work to understand, monitor, and protect animals across the globe.

Drones can do more than just track animals on land - they can observe areas of the globe that are difficult to reach, such as the open ocean. Drone services are increasingly used to observe marine wildlife species in their natural habitats, as well as to track the migration patterns of creatures such as whales and dolphins.

A fire isn’t always a bad thing. Controlled burns rid forests of dead leaves, tree limbs, and other debris that could cause problems in the future. Drone contractors can help plan prescribed burns by flying overheard to survey the terrain. The more conservations know about an area before a burn, the better they can plan for safety.

Controlled burns aren’t the only kind of fire that drones can help with. With today’s modern technology, drones can actually help firefighters put out wild blazes in a timely manner. Drone operators are needed to help survey the course of wildfires and put an end to them before they cause devastating damage.

Protected areas such as national parks use unmanned drones to help research, monitor, and protect the land. With some national parks across the globe spanning tens of thousands of square miles, it’s difficult to watch every part of the land. An aerial perspective can grant more understanding and control.

There are now drones that can plant seeds up to 60 times faster than humans can. That’s why many conservation and agricultural groups are now using drones to plant large areas of land. Talk to our team today about finding drone pilot opportunities that help you give back to the planet that’s given so much to us.
