In the heart of the rainforests of Borneo, several researchers are using DJI's thermal drones to revolutionize the census of endangered orangutans. This innovative initiative, led by Dr Biruté Mary Galdikas and his doctoral student Ruth Linskyaims to obtain more accurate data on orangutan populations to inform conservation efforts.
DJI's thermal drones fly to save orangutans in Borneo
Traditionally, the census of orangutans was carried out manually counting nests through the dense rainforest. A time-consuming, expensive and potentially inaccurate method. Now, researchers are using the thermal drone DJI Matrice 30T to directly detect and count orangutans from above.
Equipped with a thermal imaging camera, zoom technology and intelligent features, the DJI Matrice 30T allows researchers to spot the heat signatures of orangutans even in environments with dense vegetation. Artificial intelligence analyzes thermal data, distinguishing orangutans from their surroundings for a effective and precise counting.
This innovative approach offers numerous advantages over traditional methods. Greater precision, faster results, reduced costs and lower environmental impact. Furthermore, the use of drones guarantees safer conditions for researchers, eliminating the need to manually traverse dense rainforest.
The success of this project has the potential not only to transform the orangutan census, but also to serve as a model for management solutions. efficient counting for other species at risk. It demonstrates the power of technology and innovation in protecting vulnerable wildlife. Drones that are not only used for effective shots, but also to save the lives of endangered species.
