Unscramble the Blue Letters


Well recently, Nepal acquired a new tool in the fight against wildlife crime, and these are drones, or more specifically, ctersoianvon drones. For about a year now, my celgeulaos and I have been building drones for Nepal and training the park ptoteoicrn personnel on the use of these drones. Not only does a drone give you a bird's-eye view of the landscape, but it also allows you to capture deelatid, high-resolution images of objects on the ground. This, for example, is a pair of rhinoceros taking a cooling bath on a hot summer day in the lowlands of Nepal. Now we believe that donres have tremendous petatonil, not only for combating wlfliide crime, but also for monitoring the health of these wildlife populations.

Original Text


Well recently, Nepal acquired a new tool in the fight against wildlife crime, and these are drones, or more specifically, conservation drones. For about a year now, my colleagues and I have been building drones for Nepal and training the park protection personnel on the use of these drones. Not only does a drone give you a bird's-eye view of the landscape, but it also allows you to capture detailed, high-resolution images of objects on the ground. This, for example, is a pair of rhinoceros taking a cooling bath on a hot summer day in the lowlands of Nepal. Now we believe that drones have tremendous potential, not only for combating wildlife crime, but also for monitoring the health of these wildlife populations.
