Drones and Thermal Imaging

Drones are increasingly being used in animal care, especially in search and rescue operations. With thermal imaging, drones can detect animal heat signatures, even in dense areas or at night. This technology is particularly useful in detecting stray pets or wildlife in emergencies, such as forest fires or floods.

Wearable Pet Technology

Wearable technology, such as GPS collars and activity trackers, provides owners and animal care providers with detailed information about their pets' location, health, and activities. For example, these devices can warn if an animal is ill or becomes less active, which may indicate health problems. This allows problems to be detected and addressed early.

Telemetry and Tracking

For wildlife, telemetry and tracking have become essential tools. Using GPS collars, researchers can track animal migration patterns, territorial behavior, and social interactions. This data is crucial for developing effective protection programs and maintaining biodiversity.
