Thermal Drone Services 

The team at Symbio Wildlife Park is proud to be leading the was in thermal drone surveys of Wildlife and Pest Species.

Using state-of-the-art DJI 30t thermal drones, equipped with powerful spotlights, our team conducts wildlife surveys during the cooler months, operating through the night from 7pm until 3am, and can typically extend our pest surveys for Deer, Rabbits, Goats, and Wild Dogs into the warmer summer months, pending terrain. Our survey methods are designed to ensure maximum accuracy,  increasing the likelihood of detecting wildlife across a variety of conditions, ensuring a comprehensive and reliable data set.

Thermal drone technology has proven to be a highly effective tool for large-scale wildlife surveys, and that’s why we’ve invested in developing our own dedicated Thermal Drone Survey team. By leveraging this advanced technology, we are able to cover vast areas quickly and efficiently, greatly enhancing our ability to monitor and assess species in remote and hard-to-reach environments.

Once a thermal signature is detected, our team verifies the species by spotlighting the area to confirm the identification with 100% accuracy. This combination of thermal imaging and spotlighting ensures precise species identification, enabling us to build a highly accurate map of the region’s wildlife populations.

To date, we have successfully surveyed close to 7000 hectares across the Southern Sydney surrounds, for both conservation and industry marking the first time this technology has been used on such a large scale in this region.
