Surveillance drones in Bangladesh help curtail poaching
Surveillance drones assist wildlife managers in protecting birds
Wildlife managers are using surveillance drones to help tackle poaching in bird sanctuaries in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Forest Department’s Wildlife Crime Control Unit uses these drones to monitor wetlands for poaching. They discovered a number of nets set up for bird poaching relatively quickly. The technology also helped them seize the illegal traps, jail several poachers and even rescue several trapped birds.
