Species: Kea (Nestor notabilis) Location: New Zealand Status: Endemic native species, endangered Kea are the world’s only alpine parrot, and their numbers are declining. The researchers needed to track kea in New Zealand’s rugged Southern Alps to monitor their survival, breeding, and losses from predation by introduced feral cats.Altitude Conservation’s Multi-Track Aircraft Ranger allowed the … Read more
Species: Location: Colombia Status: Native species The researchers needed to track a number of native micro-bat species in Colombia to monitor their movement across the landscape, and interactions with wind farm turbines. Altitude Conservation’s Multi-Track Drone Ranger enabled the team to track bats more efficiently, and over greater distances than was possible with traditional ground … Read more
Species: Stoat (Mustela erminea) Location: New Zealand Status: Introduced pest species Introduced stoats are a major predator of native bird species in New Zealand. The researcher needed to track radio-collared stoats to monitor their dispersal range and movement corridors into a national park. Altitude Conservation provided a Multi-Track Drone Ranger system to assist, searching a … Read more
Species: Kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) Location: New Zealand Status: Endemic native species, critically endangered Kakapo are critically endangered, with surviving individuals confined to predator-free islands. Individuals need to be regularly tracked to monitor health and breeding. However, the rugged terrain makes ground tracking a slow and energy-intensive process. Altitude Conservation’s Multi-Track Aircraft Ranger provided the ability … Read more
Species: Yellow-eyed penguin, hoiho (Megadyptes antipodes) Location: New Zealand Status: Endemic native species, endangered The ‘Drone Ranger’ was initially invented to track penguins on a remote subantarctic island.Now the New Zealand-made tracking technology is being used to help conservation efforts around the world. The researcher needed to locate cryptic penguin nests as part of a … Read more
Species: North Island Robin / toutouwai (Petroica longipes) Location: New Zealand Status: Endemic native species The researchers needed to track North Island robins / toutouwai, a small passerine bird, following a conservation translocation in New Zealand. The robins live in dense forest, making monitoring difficult. Altitude Conservation provided a Multi-Track Drone Ranger system to assist. … Read more
Species: Flatback sea turtle (Natator depressus) Location: Australia Status: Endemic native species Flatback sea turtles breed on beaches in northern Australia. The researcher needed to track sea turtle hatchlings to determine if they were affected by artificial light from nearby wharves and ships. They used a remote-controlled boat to imitate the offshore movement of a … Read more
Species: Flatback sea turtle (Natator depressus) Location: Australia Status: Endemic native species Flatback sea turtles breed in northern Australia and have a restricted distribution compared to other sea turtles. They are vulnerable to a number of human-induced threats, includinghabitat loss, predation of adults and eggs, fisheries by-catch, pollution, and climate change. The researcher needed to … Read more
Species: Yellow-eyed penguin, hoiho (Megadyptes antipodes) Location: New Zealand Status: Endemic native species, endangered Yellow-eyed penguins are endangered and declining on mainland New Zealand. However, little was known about the southern population which breeds on remote Sub-Antarctic islands, as the isolated and inhospitable conditions make research extremely difficult in the area. The researcher utilised Altitude … Read more
Species: Yellow-eyed penguin, hoiho (Megadyptes antipodes) Location: New Zealand Status: Endemic native species, endangered Yellow-eyed penguins are endangered and declining, but knowledge of the isolated Sub-Antarctic populations was data-deficient due to the challenging terrain. The researcher needed to locate cryptic forest-nesting yellow-eyed penguins in thick sub-Antarctic vegetation, but ground-tracking methods were prohibitively slow. Altitude Conservation’s … Read more
