The route is one of the oldest roads in the region and a historic trade route for coffee. Trees surround a ravine that runs next to the plantation, and these trees and vegetation help prevent landslides and erosion. Because the area has such high rainfall, natural protections such as these are crucial for sustainable farming.":1,"#Coffee fields in Costa Rica have a unique combination of characteristics that favor the cultivation of Arabica coffee beans. High altitudes, fertile volcanic soil, warm temperatures, steady rainfall, and a tropical climate help to produce quality coffee with great aroma and flavor.":1,"#Reality capture technology is becoming an integral tool in advancing sustainable agriculture practices. By creating a digital twin of fields and farming practices throughout the growing season, it is easier to prove the results of different cultivation techniques and optimize resource allocation before implementing changes in the real world. Reality capture models can offer precise insights into topography, soil composition, and vegetation health. By integrating reality capture data, farmers can fine-tune irrigation schedules, adjust planting patterns, and identify areas prone to erosion or nutrient depletion. The ability to fine-tune these agricultural practices can enhance resource efficiency such as more precise water use, reduce waste such as with lower pesticide use, and promote sustainable land management.

Instead of relying on Google Earth imagery (which is updated once or twice a year), or a costly satellite imagery subscription, users can use a drone to document their site through every stage of their operations. Using DroneDeploy software, your most recent maps – accessible by everyone on your team – will clearly show site compliance with regulations, as well as visual evidence of its current status. If a site has been closed down outside of regulations, it will be highly apparent to users that changes need to be made.":1,"#Customers today are using drone data in conjunction with geographic data housed in Esri to solve a number of problems in facilities management, site documentation, and asset tracking. However, there is a challenge viewing the latest site maps alongside these datasets. With so many of our users employing Esri as a foundational part of their business, we needed to streamline these processes and enable faster decision making. As of our newest product release, you can automatically serve all of your most recent maps into your ArcGIS instance, removing the need to navigate across multiple platforms. This saves money in the long run by providing higher quality, high-resolution imagery directly to your ArcGIS account, without the need for internal or 3rd party development costs.

The activity is laborious, intrusive, and sometimes dangerous. Seals often hide behind rocks and crevices, and counting these animals often involves flushing or moving them, including moms and their pups. “Sometimes, these pups are only a day old, so that disturbance can be significant,” explained Tenaya. In addition, Tenaya noted that the activity of ground counting is also potentially dangerous to scientists.":1,"#The progress made today on monitoring fur seal populations can help us take the leap forward in monitoring even more species across the world.”":1,"#We can’t manage what we don’t measure. That’s why monitoring wildlife population size is critical to conservation efforts, albeit not an easy task. Today, scientists and practitioners spend countless hours in the field using diverse methods to count and model endangered and threatened species population estimates and trends. To combat this, DroneDeploy is continually creating innovative ways to count animals with drone imagery using artificial intelligence, or AI. In fact, these methods are currently revolutionizing the way we monitor endangered species’ population levels. By using new remote sensing and AI image processing methods, we’re taking a giant step forward in worldwide species conservation.":1,"#The Challenge: Counting Newborn Fur Seals":1,"#Matt Pickett, Co-Founder, Oceans Unmanned":1,"#The automation of seal counts is a small step forward in a much larger push for AI in conservation. The World Wildlife Fund estimated that the world had lost two-thirds of its wildlife in the past 50 years, and monitoring habitats and landscapes is a crucial tool in unlocking this future for conservation. Faster and easier tools in wildlife monitoring can help overcome some of the hurdles of traditional methods, such as how often surveys can occur and how many people are needed to conduct these surveys.":1,"#Broader Implications for World Conservation":1,"#To count seals through aerial imagery, the team used DroneDeploy’s count tool in conjunction with Picterra’s technology.
