Drones are being utilized in various conservation efforts to protect endangered animals from extinction by monitoring habitats, deterring poachers, and conducting aerial surveys. Organizations like the Jane Goodall Institute, Conservation Drones, and Ocean Alliance are leading projects to assist species such as rhinos, elephants, and whales. These technological interventions enhance conservation strategies through data collection and awareness raising.
