About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have a special guest who's here to talk about an exciting course - The Certificate Programme in UAV Operations for Wildlife Conservation. Can you tell us a bit more about it? GUEST: Absolutely, this course is designed to equip learners with critical skills for using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones, in wildlife conservation. It combines theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience to prepare students for careers in this innovative field. HOST: That sounds fascinating! Given your experience, what current trends do you see in the use of UAVs in wildlife conservation? GUEST: Well, UAV technology has become increasingly affordable and accessible. This has led to its wider adoption in conservation efforts, from tracking animal movements to mapping habitats. HOST: And what challenges are faced when it comes to learning or teaching this subject? GUEST: One major challenge is keeping up with the rapidly evolving technology. Another is ensuring that the use of UAVs is ethical and respectful to wildlife and their habitats. HOST: That's a great point. Looking forward, how do you see the role of UAVs in wildlife conservation evolving? GUEST: I believe we'll see even more sophisticated use of UAVs, such as AI-powered species identification, and perhaps even UAVs that can collect biological samples. It's a rapidly evolving field with a lot of potential. HOST: It certainly is! Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights about this exciting course. GUEST: My pleasure. Thanks for having me.
