The conservation impact of botanical drones: Documenting and collecting rare plants from vertical cliffs and other hard‐to‐reach areas

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 5, Issue 1, January–March 2024.
We are deploying drones for botanical survey of hard‐to‐reach areas to aid in the location and collection of critically endangered plants and to protect them from extinction. We see great potential in the continued employment of these techniques wherever plants are growing on cliffs or in other hard‐to‐reach areas.
