Autonomous, behavior-adaptive flight is one tool we can use to ensure researchers do not disturb the ecosystems we study and protect. I would love to hear how you think about responsible conservation tech use - what has worked well? Can we do better? Drop your thoughts below!

Our pilot covered 4 days across a 220-acre pasture, monitoring Pere David’s deer, Sichuan takin, Przewalski’s horses, and local Ohio wildlife. Each modality captures different ecological signals: land use, species detection, behavior, habitat change.

TL;DR: Analyze in place, record what matters, fly smarter.
Key takeaways:
• Plan for the model (altitude/speed/oblique).
• Do inference at the edge to triage events.
• Use video-native models for behavior (not just detection).
• Semi-autonomous flights standardize data & reduce disturbance.
