Cover Story: Wildlife abundance surveys are important tools for making decisions regarding nature conservation and management. Cryptic and nocturnal mammals can be difficult to monitor, and methods to obtain more accurate data on the density and population trends of these species are needed. We propose a novel monitoring method using an aerial drone with a laser rangefinder and high zoom capabilities for thermal imagery, and demonstrate that it can detect significantly more hares than a traditional spotlight survey method. Besides covering more survey area within the same timeframe, the drone method offers a foundation for studying animal behavior simultaneously with density surveys. View this paper
