Environmental Monitoring
& Drone Services
At FulcrumAir, some of our most important work is done in conjunction with biologists and environmental conservationists. The application of drones for environmental monitoring is vast and may include everything from habitat monitoring and reclamation to species identification and wildlife management. Drones provide a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional wildlife survey and environmental monitoring methods and allow scientists to reach places previously off-limits. Our drones capture high-quality and comprehensive LiDAR/RGB and thermal images.
Utilizing Drones For Environmental Monitoring

Conserve habitats & protect wildlife
The #1 goal of conservation is to protect and preserve wildlife and the ecosystems they inhabit. Unlike ground vehicles and human traffic, UAVs collect information without leaving a footprint, maintaining the environment's natural beauty.

Protect the lives of in-field personnel
Journeying through rugged terrain and interacting with wild animals puts biologists and conservationists at risk. Drones allow these professionals to collect, review, and analyze all of the necessary data remotely.

Save time through automated change detection
Drones can cover larger areas in less time than biologists on foot. Our advanced imagery analysis allows for automated change detection, highlighting areas where changes have occurred for fast and easy recognition.

Ensure precision, accuracy, and efficiency
High-quality sensing technology has the power to eliminate human error from environmental monitoring calculations. LiDAR/RGB and thermal cameras provide comprehensive and accurate data, even in low-light conditions.
Environmental
Applications For Drones
Bird Nest Surveys
When vegetation clearing is proposed for any purpose, bird nest surveys are required by law. The aim is to identify and confirm the precise location of active nests of protected and endangered birds. Bird nest surveys help to preserve endangered species and their habitats.
Wildlife Surveys
Drones are changing the way biologists perform wildlife surveys. Equipped with LiDAR, RGB, thermal, hyperspectral, and corona sensors, as well as a 360° camera, drones can effectively capture all necessary information about a group of wildlife, including their health, population numbers, habits, and even GPS coordinates.
Aerial Mapping
Aerial mapping is the process of transforming raw data into practical and useful knowledge that support environmental and conservation efforts. Using state-of-the-art sensing technology, you can gather, extract, and analyze valuable data to assess habitats, monitor populations, classify species, and more.
Vegetation Mapping
Vegetation mapping is a fundamental aspect of ecological research. Monitoring vegetation can help scientists and conservationists understand and manage biodiversity and provides useful insights for drought and flood analysis and environmental impact monitoring.
We aim to improve the safety and efficiency of environmental monitoring. As our drones give access to unexplored remote areas, their full potential has yet to be discovered. Get in touch with FulcrumAir to discuss more ways to use drones for environmental monitoring.
Biologist Approved Drones For Environmental Monitoring
E2500 Series
The E2500 series excels in all aspects of performance, including higher top and cruise speeds, longer flight times, heavier lift capacity, and increased maneuverability compared to other UAVs in its weight class. The performance characteristics and range of the E2500 make it an ideal drone for environmental monitoring.
