Still not sure of the practical application of this if it only carries a few kgs of food and the operator needs visual line of sight of the drone. Maybe animals trapped on an island in flood. And in the application described in the link there is a lot of crewed aircraft low-flying around during and immediately after fires and flood. They don’t really want drones tangling in their airspace. In general, the drone industry get a little over zealous with what can practically be applied in wildlife. They speak of helicopters being dangerous, which is not true, and applications of drones that might look sexy but are simply not practical. Apart from a major limitation, that is, very few drone operators have drones capable of 2-3 hours of flying time, they also fail to let their clients know it takes weeks to get CASA approval to fly beyond visual line of sight, (BVLoS). This is even after the operator has passed the IREX examination and is qualified. We have two large endurance drones and much experience conducting long-distance thermal night flights. We have an IREX pilot. But we still can’t see as many practical and cost-effective applicants in wildlife as some drone industry people postulate. When asked at and ESA talk I said CASA regulations are and will continue to be a necessary limitation on drone applications. Air safety is vitally important. https://lnkd.in/g6cuE2sV reel/684586217182615?fs=e&s=cl

I was into the hospitality business, but now I am a drone enthusiast. I also studied film making from European Film College in Denmark. Welcome to my little corner of the drone world. For more, log on to- remoteflyer.com
Advanced UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) help preserve and protect #wildlife. They have thermal cameras that track wildlife’s movement, health, and population. Drones are more efficient, cheaper, and safer. Also, they create minimal disturbance to wildlife while offering high-resolution imagery and accurate data. This article comprehensively looks at how drones track wildlife and other drone roles. We shall also look at the impacts of drones on wildlife. So, you better read to the end. #wildlifeconservation #dronetechnology #dronesforgood #dronesolutions #dronesurvey https://lnkd.in/gHzvnnzK

#icymi 🚨 Transport Canada - Transports Canada has issued a hefty fine to a BC-based production company for operating #drones too close to wildlife, of which the animals were listed in the Species at Risk Act. Details in the article below. I think what makes this situation worse is that this company applied for a permit to capture footage of animals under this Act years before, but were denied. This is yet another example of understanding rules & reg's when flying, and not selfishly pushing the envelope to get 'that ideal shot'. In my opinion, regulations in #canada are very fair & I want them to stay that way! Hoping this incident sets an example so we see less of this & maintain our place as a forward-thinking nation when it comes to the evolution of drones, or as we call them up here, RPAS. Questions about rules & reg's? That's a big reason people hire us! Reach out anytime, even if it's just to bounce questions off of us.

Deploying Drones with Heat Cameras: Drone operators can deploy drones equipped with special heat cameras to survey meadows and other areas where wildlife, such as newborn calves, may be hiding. These heat cameras can detect the body heat of animals even when they are concealed in tall grass or vegetation. Surveillance and Identification: Drones can fly over the designated areas, scanning for heat signatures that indicate the presence of hidden wildlife, such as newborn calves. The heat signatures can be displayed in real-time on a monitor or transmitted to a control center. Warning Alerts: When a drone detects the presence of wildlife, particularly newborn calves, operators can issue warnings to nearby farmers or machinery operators. This alert system can help prevent accidental harm to the animals from mowing machines or other agricultural equipment. GPS Tagging and Tracking: In addition to issuing warnings, drones can also capture GPS coordinates of the locations where wildlife is detected. This information can be used to track the movements of animals and monitor their habitats over time. Collaboration with Wildlife Protection Agencies: Amongst Flight Deck Insurance's clients are many Drone operators collaborating with local wildlife protection agencies or conservation organizations to share data and coordinate efforts to protect vulnerable wildlife populations. This partnership can help ensure a more comprehensive approach to wildlife conservation. Education and Awareness: Finally, drone operators can also use their platforms to raise awareness about the importance of protecting wildlife habitats and the role that technology, such as drones with heat cameras, can play in conservation efforts. By leveraging drones with heat cameras in this way, operators can provide valuable assistance in protecting wildlife during the spring season and beyond, helping to ensure the well-being of vulnerable animal populations and their habitats. #wildlife #protection #drones #surveying #filming #game #deer Unsplash image by #erikafletcher

The Australian government has released a draft plan to tackle the issue of feral goats, which are threatening native species and ecosystems. This plan could present significant opportunities for Indigenous rangers. By incorporating traditional knowledge and land management practices, Indigenous rangers could play a pivotal role in implementing the plan's strategies, such as tracking, surveillance, and the application of traditional ecological knowledge to enhance the effectiveness of culling and natural predation methods. The use of drones and thermal imaging could also provide technological skills development for Indigenous communities. Engaging Indigenous rangers in this initiative not only supports biodiversity conservation but also promotes job creation and the empowerment of Indigenous communities in managing their lands. This alignment with the plan could further the government's commitment to Indigenous-led conservation efforts, ensuring that the approach to feral goat management is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and beneficial to both the environment and the Indigenous custodians of the land. The public consultation period for the draft plan remains open until the end of January. #biosecurity #drones #indigenous #rangers #australia https://lnkd.in/gPdaJBDu

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚. 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦. 🦈🇦🇺 As the number of attacks has grown recently — in Australia and around the world — the nation is moving away from traditional shark-fighting tools like nets and adopting new technologies. Australia now has the world’s largest coastal drone-surveillance operation and is installing nonlethal traps, or drumlines, that alert authorities when a shark takes their bait. These are enabling authorities to monitor sharks like never before — and have turned Australia into a laboratory for ways to prevent shark attacks. The program, which has grown from a few drumlines to 305, helps keep people safe: Sharks tend to avoid for a few months places where they’ve been caught, Butcher said. But it also helps humans learn about the animals via DNA and tracking data. Some warn against putting too much faith in technology, however. The program costs New South Wales about $14 million a year, more than many places can afford. And even in the future, if Australian beaches are continually patrolled by drones, it still won’t be possible to prevent every shark attack. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gX2e2pCe #sharkweek #sharkattack #sharknado #ocean #sharks #sharkattacks #shark #greatwhiteshark #jaws Commercial Drone Alliance Vancouver Aquarium Monterey Bay Aquarium

Drone monitoring of #wildlife can be a useful tool for conservationists to gather important data about animal populations and their habitats. Drones can be equipped with cameras and sensors that can capture high-resolution images and video footage, which can be used to monitor animal behavior, track migration patterns, and identify potential threats to wildlife. With the help of advanced AI algorithms, drones can also process large amounts of data and provide valuable insights to researchers and conservationists. Overall, #dronemonitoring of wildlife has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach conservation efforts and protect our planet's #biodiversity. Certainly! #wildlifeconservation #wildlifeprotection #environmentalmonitoring #sustainabletechnology
