Drones for sharks!
With already over 15 missions under our belt, we have mapped just about any landscape with our drones. But the one thing we haven’t done yet is to give marine conservation a hand. Mapping St-Joseph atoll in the Seychelles and acquiring high-resolution aerial images to identify shark and ray pups seemed like the perfect challenge to introduce our drones to the salty and wet air of marine conservation.
Nature conservation in Namibia
In May 2014, four members of Drones For Earth spent two weeks in the wild Namibian bush drone-mapping savanna, sand and rock for land and wildlife conservation.
As a picture speaks a thousand words, here’s a gallery of images from our flights at Kuzikus Wildlife Reserve and the Gobabeb Research and Training Center.
The mission in numbers:
- Project performed in: 2014
