Drones employed in conservation, wildlife, ecology science have gained marked popularity in recent years as they become more accessible to the masses. But more than just toys, drones, a.k.a. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are also becoming increasingly critical in conservation. Researchers and conservationists alike are employing these new aerial technologies to gain new perspectives, gather different types of data, and often, leave less of a human footprint on the otherwise pristine natural landscapes in which they work. Join us as we discuss these new conservation technologies and strategies with Serge Wich, UAV specialist and founder of Conservation Drones. Serge shares with us his work in the field and why more and more researchers are taking to the sky to expand the great ape conservation landscape.More about Conservation Drones: https://conservationdrones.org/Support the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

Conservation Drones and AI with Serge Wich | S1E19

Serge Wich is a professor in primate biology at Liverpool John Moores University and an honorary professor for the conservation of the great apes at the University of Amsterdam. He is also the co-founder of the nonprofit, Conservation Drones. His research focuses on primate behavioral ecology, tropical rain forest ecology, and the conservation of primates and their habitats. Much of his work has been focused on orangutans in Indonesia. We discuss: - the complexities and nuances of conservation - the new species of orangutan discovered in 2017 - the terror of coming face-to-face with one of the rarest species on Earth....the Sumatran tiger  Serge’s work: www.sergewich.com www.twitter.com/sergewich www.conservationdrones.org  Sources for topics discussed: Our Planet: www.ourplanet.com/en/ ‘Jane’ documentary: www.nationalgeographic.com/jane-the-movie/ Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program: www.sumatranorangutan.org/ Borneo Nature Foundation: www.borneonaturefoundation.org/en/ Conservation Drones: https://conservationdrones.org/  Lian Pin Koh: https://bit.ly/1E377eT Air Shepherd: https://airshepherd.org/ Spider monkey survey in Mexico: https://bit.ly/2URuOrd New orangutan species: https://bit.ly/2zsCMgh Hydroelectric scheme that will hurt new species of orangutan: https://bit.ly/2UD0ygA Tapanuli orangutan paper: https://bit.ly/2C9biNf ‘Primates of West Africa’ by John Oates: https://amzn.to/2IIjwyJ  Full show notes @ https://bit.ly/2NaFrTj  ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/escape-the-zoo/support
