"The end goal would be to figure out
whether repeated drone use is likely to be harmful to animals. With the
bears, for instance, Ditmer says there is a chance that the animals
could become accustomed to drones over time and be less bothered by
them. Other research could also examine whether different heights,
speeds or even sound frequencies are less likely to bother the animals.
To
be clear, Ditmer says, his team’s study is not meant to advocate
against the use of UAVs, which have high potential for both conservation
and research applications. 'We’re just highlighting a potential issue
that needs to come into closer consideration when we decide where and
where to use them,' he says."
