From tracking invasive species to detecting fires, drones are formidable tools for nearly every aspect of forestry and land management.
In the whitepaper: ‘The Future of Drone Surveillance’, Draganfly look at the role of drones in sustainable land management by delivering rapid data that is both high-quality and economical.
With ongoing innovations in sensing and processing technologies, drone usage across forestry applications is anticipated to continue.
Forestry and land management applications include:
- Biomass analysis
- 3D Mapping
- Mapping diseases
- Classifying species
- Precision forestry
- Fire Management
- Timber evaluation
- Pest Outbreaks
- Large-area Seeding
- Forest governance
- Tracking deforestation
The key benefits of using drones in land management include fewer in-person assessments, which are often required in hard to access regions, as well as reducing resources, energy consumption and data acquisition times, which in turn increase efficiency and reduce costs.
