Surveying the population of Delacour’s langurs in Van Long Nature Reserve using cutting-edge thermal drone
One of our organization’s most recent initiatives involves the utilization of a cutting-edge unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone, equipped with a state-of-the-art thermal camera, to conduct a population survey of Delacour’s langurs. This advanced technology relies on detecting temperature variations between the animals’ bodies and their surroundings. The implementation of drone surveys represents a significant advancement over the ground method survey. We invite you to watch the video below, which showcases footage captured during one of our drone flights aimed at assessing the critically endangered Delacour’s langur.
