Drones help fight illegal deforesting, poaching and habitat destruction

Environment

Two environmentalists, professor Lian Pin Koh and Dr. Serge Wich developed the conservation drone 1.0, an unmanned aircraft strapped with a camera. The drone flies itself after having its destination programmed and takes pictures of tropical forests in an effort to spot suspicious activity and prevent habitat destruction and other problematic illegal activities in tropical forests.

It’s a bird…It’s a plane…It’s a conservation drone!
