Environmental Protection & Monitoring 

How Drones are helping to protect and Monitor the Environment

The benefits that drones offer the fields of environmental protection and monitoring are being realized by an ever-increasing number of researchers, conservationist organizations, and environmental engineers. Drones offer quick, easy and cost-effective insights, compared to
slow terrestrial surveying equipment, lower-resolution satellite imagery and expensive manned aircraft.

Observation

Whether you are dealing with delicate marshlands, large forests, or any other type of natural land, a site observation is always beneficial to get a sense of the issues at hand. The introduction of drones in recent years has opened up many new possibilities in the ways we view the environment and collect data. Previously inaccessible areas by foot can now be looked at by air, with no worries of damaging ecosystems.

Pre-Planning

Before a project begins, a planning stage is performed to describe the end goals and how they will be achieved. In most cases, many parties will be involved including investors, environmental agencies, community’s, and governments. The use of drone visual data in proposals or meetings greatly improves the way messages are interpreted and can achieve a universal call to action.

Species Examination

Achieving estimates on wildlife and plant populations has become more efficient and accurate with drones. Vast stretches of land that would take days or weeks to observe by foot, can be viewed within hours or minutes. Zoom cameras allow for close up viewing so researchers can achieve the data needed without disturbing the subjects.

Progress Monitoring

Staying on schedule is a crucial part in keeping the project from going over budget. Periodic drone images are useful tools for project managers to monitor current progress or environmental changes and plan accordingly. New updated pictures can be taken monthly, weekly, or daily depending on the speed of building.
