5 Cool and Creative Ways Drones are Being Used

Drones allow us to explore high-risk or hard to reach areas of our planet. Take for example the scientists of the geology world who get up close and personal with volcanoes. Drones allow them to not only access these dangerous terrains remotely, but also use their technology to collect data on gas emissions and physical layouts.

Whether you like observing them in their natural habitat or want to keep them safe, the drone industry is making a positive impact on wildlife conservation and study. Some wild animals are notoriously easy to spook, and some are impossible to find if they want to remain hidden. Drone tech negates these problems by eliminating the need for direct human contact. They fly overhead or enter habitats discreetly to make less of an impact on the animal population.

Check out the video below to see how the Australian Wildlife Conservancy is using drone technology to ‘stock-take’ and monitor wildlife populations:

Farming isn’t a dying profession. Farmers worldwide plough fields and tend to crops for the sake of feeding their families and the entire world. It can be back-breaking work, and it isn’t always successful, but drones are making it simpler. Farmers can use aerial shots to understand weather conditions better and tweak their methods accordingly. The video below gives a great example of just one of the ways how drones can help farmers tend to their crops.

If there is one thing you can count on, it’s the need for speed. Drones are no different as pilots are twinning their best models with VR goggles and first-person cameras to boost their adrenaline levels!
