Hace diez años, no podíamos imaginar cómo herramientas como el aprendizaje automático, el ADN ambiental y los satélites impulsarían y transformarían el trabajo de conservación. Ahora la tecnología avanza más rápido que nunca, y a medida que las herramientas se vuelven más pequeñas, ligeras y asequibles, es vital contar con un espacio donde los miembros de la comunidad puedan debatir sobre las últimas novedades, compartir ideas, comparar opciones de herramientas y contar sus experiencias —tanto positivas como negativas— al usar nuevas tecnologías.
En 2021, el informe WILDLABS State of Conservation Tech detalló qué herramientas son las más prometedoras según los miembros de la comunidad, así como cuáles se consideran actualmente las más efectivas. Y a medida que nuevas herramientas se incorporan al campo, nos entusiasma ver cómo evolucionarán estos datos con el tiempo y cómo crecerá este grupo.
Nuestra investigación sobre el estado de la tecnología en conservación también aborda el llamado "Ciclo de Hype": el patrón que se produce cuando una nueva tecnología irrumpe en escena, promete ser una solución innovadora, se enfrenta a desafíos a medida que los nuevos usuarios la adoptan y la ponen en práctica más allá de la teoría, y finalmente alcanza su máximo potencial cuando los usuarios adquieren las habilidades necesarias para aprovecharlo al máximo. El aprendizaje automático, una de las tecnologías más prometedoras, se encuentra actualmente en pleno ciclo de hype, y observamos cómo los miembros de la comunidad superan sus propios obstáculos para incorporarlo eficazmente a su trabajo. Contrario a lo que se podría pensar, este ciclo de hype también puede ser positivo para el desarrollo tecnológico, ya que implica que los usuarios tienen grandes ideas para nuevas herramientas y, con los recursos y las habilidades adecuadas, pueden trabajar para hacerlas realidad. A medida que los miembros de nuestra comunidad experimentan el ciclo de hype de diversas herramientas a su propio ritmo, esperamos que este grupo sirva también como un espacio para debatir este proceso y superar juntos los obstáculos.
¿Listo para descubrir nuevas posibilidades? ¡Únete a nuestro grupo de Tecnologías Emergentes y conoce a otros profesionales de la tecnología en conservación con visión de futuro!

Hi, are you looking to import these? Do you have any import tax considerations? This could impact which models you buy. I have been using Acorn models, very reliable and provide photo and 4K video with sound options.

Thanks @SeanHill - I'll take a look!
5 May 2026 11:02pm
This is a very promising result. The use of drones for detecting invasive species demonstrates strong potential for improving monitoring efficiency and accuracy. In a country like Brazil, where ecosystems are significantly affected by invasive species such as Hovenia dulcis (Japanese raisin tree) and Pinus spp., this technology could become a valuable tool for early detection and management.
29 May 2026 10:15am
It certainly is! The great thing about it too is that the aerial detections often lead to more ground detections when teams are locating the trees from the map data and by using the ground app, they are able to mark the locations and photograph the newly discovered aliens and sync it to the existing maps as well. This allows for truly comprehensive removal and monitoring data capture.

25 February 2026 11:27am
Hi @DavidGlobalDroneForum , I have attended ICTC and tried to be in the drone-related sessions as much as possible. I'm am not based in Africa but very much would like to better understand how drones are being used there as the organisation I work for are keen to increase the use of drones in that area. Would be happy to contribute in some way with reflections depending on timeline. Unfortunately I won't attend the conference in Kenya in person. I have also signed up to the Drone WG so was hoping to share something then too!
