title: Drones for Conservation - Field Guide for Photographers, Researchers, Conservationists and Archaeologists
author:  Kike Calvo 
description: <i> "Drones for conservation is essentially just in its infancy, but while we can lament the possible consequent avoidance of a good slog of a field study, we can already see multiple benefits falling from the skies as it were.../... So Drones for Conservation is very much a first. With actual examples from around the world, it also has very practical sections on how to use drones effectively - as usual there is never a substitute for carefully thinking out a project in advance."</i><br /><b>Thomas E. Lovejoy</b>, Ph.D. , National Geographic Conservation Fellow.<br /><br />
