"The sound of a large drone humming over a forest at night, combined with a
bright floodlight, is an eerie sight. It might evoke ominous thoughts of a
search-and-rescue operation.

But our new study published in Ecological Applications shows that drones
equipped with thermal cameras could also help detect and monitor some of
Australia’s most elusive forest wildlife. In turn, they can help us make
smarter, evidence-based decisions for conservation."
