WildDrone x Wadden Sea

Areas such as Nationalpark Vadehavet are extremely difficult to survey.
And that is a problem because it is vital to many species, especially migratory birds, so we need information on how the animals are doing 🐦
With drones, however, it could be done.
As Magnus Wahlberg explains in the video, this is one of the aims of the WildDrone network: to develop drone solutions that could gather crucial information about the wildlife in natural areas like the Wadden Sea.
- When we look into the future, we have with drone technology an option to, in a cheaper way, monitor a larger area and monitor much more than we are able to today, says Xenia Salomonsen, Cand.scient. (Marinbiolog).
Apart from working in the Wadden Sea, the WildDrone network also has projects in other parts of Europe and in Africa. A total of 19 different partners are involved.
-The WildDrone project is an interdisciplinary, curiosity-driven research network. We work across three different scientific areas: conservation ecology, drone operations, and machine learning/computer vision. And we work with the aim of showing how drones can be useful for nature conservation across both Europe and Africa, says Ulrik Schultz Lundquist.
