This week, our team was in Tapada da Amora (Vairão, PT) collecting environmental data.
We used #drones equipped with 💥 #LiDAR & 🌈 #Multispectral sensors to collect high-precision data of the terrain and vegetation.
This data will support better management strategies, including for invasive species!
