Thermal imaging survey to detect Koalas in Australia

Cumberland Ecology engaged Wildlife Drones' specialised thermal drone pilot Jamie Holyoak to conduct thermal imaging surveys to determine the presence and abundance of koalas.
Recognising these challenges with traditional techniques, thermal drone technology is becoming an increasingly valuable survey tool for detecting and monitoring koalas.
Given the extensive survey area and the challenges of using traditional techniques over such vast areas, rapidly surveying the site from the air using drone technology proved to be a massive time and money saver in covering large areas rapidly, and with great confidence. Our thermal cameras were also useful in providing the ground crew with real-time visual and spatial data on koalas, as well as other species and landscape features (such as large nesting hollows) present in the environment.
A special thank you to ecologist Rebeca Violante, Cumberland Ecology and Jamie Holyoak!
