Discover how our animal tracking technology can help you

Radio telemetry for tracking animal movements has been the go-to method for anyone seeking to understand and manage animal movements for decades. But the effort involved to find tagged animals in real-time has always been costly and is particularly so for 70% of the world’s wildlife that are too small to be tracked using GPS or satellite tags. As a result, many people will spend hours traipsing across vast and really difficult terrain whilst holding a radio receiver and yagi antenna up in the air for hours on end in the hope of detecting their distant tagged animals.

In contrast, Wildlife Drones’ technology can survey larger areas and track more animals more rapidly, with much less effort. Drones are perfect for any terrain and can survey even the most rugged of mountains or vast wetlands.

Taking to the Skies: Drone Applications for Wildlife Research and Conservation (Pre-registration Required)

This interactive field trip will provide insights into different drone applications relevant to wildlife biologists and help break down the barriers to adopting a variety of drone technologies and sensors including radio-telemetry, thermal imaging and visual data collection.

Wildlife Drones will feature their drone-based telemetry system, in collaboration with Advanced Telemtry Systems, who will supply the tags, and Freefly Systems’ Astro drone.

Flying high for wetland conservation – advances in drone radio-telemetry for improving invasive and native species management across wetlands

Freshwater wetlands are one of the most rapidly declining and threatened ecosystems in the world, yet they provide some of the most biologically diverse habitats for wildlife. Effectively managing both wildlife and invasive species across these dynamic, swampy landscapes poses significant challenges for wildlife biologists and natural resource managers. Wetland biologists are increasingly turning to drone-based technologies to assist with collecting data that is otherwise prohibitively difficult to obtain, including the radio-tracking of animal movements. We provide examples of how advances in innovative drone radio-telemetry technology are enabling an increasingly diverse array of native and invasive species to be efficiently tracked across some of the most challenging wetland landscapes in the United States and Australia.
