Lian Pin Koh: A drone's-eye view of conservation

- Ecologist Lian Pin Koh makes a persuasive case for using drones to protect the world's forests and wildlife. These lightweight autonomous flying vehicles can track animals in their natural habitat, monitor the health of rainforests, even combat crime by detecting poachers via thermal imaging. Added bonus? They're also entirely affordable.

Great to see such a positive application of open source technology. I think credit should also go to the Ardupilot, APM Plane, Mission Planner developers and the DIY Drones community.
One of the best and clean talks on the use of Drones.
I wish I had seen this 10 years back .
I wonder where these projects have reached ???
And I wonder if I can offer a Drone service for the work ?
To the militaries of the world: 'These are not the drones you are looking for.'
Lian Pin Koh: I think people need to understand how incredibly useful theses tools can be. thanks
Humble and extraordinary delivery. Well done.
Combo conservation drone with attack drone and you got a good way to deal with poachers.
I had to write an essay on drones a few weeks back, this would have been so nice to have back then :d
This was a great talk and presentation.
Brilliant!!! Thumbs up!
Great video!
great video! and yes use of the drone has been proven very efficient for the forest and wildlife conservation in Nepal.. many thank you for helping our country!
Love it.
awesome
smart, very positive progress of how to use drones.
Great to know about Conservation Drones being used in Nepal. Did you know? > There was ZERO Rhino poaching in 2013 in Nepal.
Another great thing is, uses of drones being diversified. Hopefully we don't hear 'Drone attack on Afganistan or Iraq or Siriya......etc. anymore !
Cool!
he uses an apm 2.6 autopilot and a $100 cheap airframe, so basicly im a 14 year old kid and have been into this stuff for 2 or 3 years and i know as much as this guy, i think its great what theyre doing but the could build theyre own airframe and have a gimbal maybe to make it steadier. :)
Equip the drone with a deplorable quadrocopter to piggy back for the long distance and you could expand the sphere of use. Even moving under the canopy and reconnecting to the drone in flight to piggy back again. You could video pilot the quadrocopter using the drone as an antenna to reduce the weight on the quadrocopter.
TED! Elliott Hulse needs to do a talk/presentation!
these are the drones we need
this is really cool :)
Two concerns: noise and 'gadjet' polution in the jungle. Still, I think it's a good idea.
And then there will be drone hunters.
And sell then for parts.
I like this side of youtube. I haven't seen any mention of Justin beiber in like an hour
Drone - flies itself,
An RC aircraft is piloted
If anyone would like to know, the 'auto pilot' he is using is called the 'ardu-pilot' a spin-off board from the popular 'arduino' project board but made for milti-copters and planes.
REALLY up to date Google Maps.
I saw "A Drone's-eye view of conversation" and thought it was about NSA spying.
That is exactly what happened to me too
Interesting concept. But what if the poachers also start using them or get access to the imagery? They will know exactly where to look.. And if a poacher is spotted, will they be there on time to catch this person?
The MAJA Drone he's talking about is ~$1300 USD.
Should save someone a few seconds internet search :)
What can be used for good can also be for bad, bad happens often
Haha! I'm building one now! It won't have GPS, because I will control it by myself. Of course, I could add it if I wanted to. Without a camera, everything cost me around ~250$. It is a quadcopter. (You can see how one motor performs on my channel)
I'm a little shocked to hear that this is new.
Unfortunately until the FAA gets it's act together "commercial" use of "drones" in the USA is a VERY gray area. The FAA considers it illegal even though they just lost a lawsuit trying to fine a drone operator for using it "commercially". The world is changing, the FAA has had over 12 years to have things in place... and now the technology is way ahead of the FAA. I feel a lot of uses will be dampened/put down when the FAA comes out with it's rulings later this year...
It would be cool to drive the video feed drone into a tornado.
This is a fantastic use of this technology. This can be the future of conservation.
Im 13 and I could build one cheaper with the same equipment. And it was a bit unsettling how he was describing them as drones instead of a uas.
These are not drones. Drones are orange airborne targets for airplane to shoot down. These are UAVs or RPVs. These are exactly like the military kind, just carrying a different, but similar payload.
Need to strap on a M60 to the drones. Most animals are endangered, poachers are not...need to reverse the outcome.
Great that 'Toys for Boys" are doing something more than just satisfying boys needs for mechanical gadgets
Boys in need for gadgets created these tools, so lady please pay some respect for the technology and free software developed with abnegation and passion by the boys...
If the poachers also utilize this same method, then it would be exposing the animals to more dangers.
Nice done Lian Pin! Bye from Switzerland, team flying4nature (look at our flycam videos on my channel), thanks
Drug-traffic just became easier than ever
Anybody else watching this for an English assignment?
So what happens when the poachers have drones?
drone dogfight.
Lame Crapper I can see the commercials for the Discovery Channel mini series already..
I guess that's the problem with pretty much every technology. Some people will use a tech to do good things, others to do bad. However I think it's fair to say that the access, desire and use of this particular tech will remain within the conservation community for a while, and if one day poachers start using the tech...well I guess conservationists will come up with new ideas to stop them. That's the way it goes, sadly.
i say good show chumly!
Drones used for good. One up for drones. ..
