Environmental & Conservation
Wildlife surveys & anti-poaching
Thermal drones counting animals and patrolling against poaching.
People ask for this as: “wildlife drone survey”, “anti-poaching drone”
How it works
Robots used
- Thermal Drone
Ways to buy it
- Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
- Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- Partner with local conservation groups who may already have data.
- Thermal surveys work best at dawn.
