The use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the monitoring and detection of wildlife allows for the optimization of the tasks of locating and positioning species, allowing for improved population counting tasks, with greater measurement reliability, covering a larger territory, with geographical features that often impede vision and avoiding many of the human factors, achieving a population estimate with greater precision. Drones also allow us to carry out a more exhaustive monitoring of endangered species, optimizing the tasks of location and positioning thanks to thermal cameras, as well as, in the case of birds, the inspection of nests to monitor laying, reducing the alteration of the environment to a minimum.

Thanks to the freedom of movement of this tool, the high resolution in data capture, the timeless nature of the photographs taken and the absence of blind spots, we achieve greater reliability in the counting and measurement of wildlife.
