Nature Recondition - Drones with thermal imaging cameras will be used to safeguard fawns.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and infrared cameras will be employed to safeguard even more deer fawns from being harmed by agricultural equipment. On Tuesday, the Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture, in unison with the organization "We Save Fawns," exhibited different techniques to shield these animals. Additionally, they issued suggestions for agriculturists.
Stefan Thurner from the state institute also discussed other technologies that can be employed to deter the animals, such as visual indications or sounds. He asserts that acoustic devices should be fixed to every lawnmower, for instance. Since young fawns possess a limited scent, they cannot be located using dogs.
Farmers can also secure assistance from volunteers like "We Save Fawns" before they wish to mow a field. These volunteers subsequently utilize drones and thermal imaging cameras to scour the field and transfer fawns to a safe haven.
Between April and June, roe deer nurse their young in meadows, where they conceal themselves amidst the high grass for the initial few weeks. These newborn animals do not have a natural aversion to predators, so they stay put when mowing machines near. For farmers clearing these fields throughout this span, finding the fawns proves challenging.
"Saving fawns is a deeply emotional matter that evokes a response in all sections of society: farmers, hunters, the general populace, and volunteers," said Stephan Sedlmayer, the President of the State Institute for Agriculture. Consequently, it's crucial that these diverse groups collaborate to tackle this predicament.
