For example, drones can detect activities such as illegal logging or fishing. In this way, such threats can be monitored more precisely in a short period of time and brought to the attention of stakeholders. This way, damage to nature is minimised.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Role of technology in nature conservation<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>After natural disasters, satellite images are indispensable for mapping the damage and identifying areas that are priorities for emergency services. Sometimes such areas are dangerous for people to enter, and the situation must be assessed from a distance to ensure safety. These types of technologies also come in handy when an area is dangerous for another reason, such as being inhospitable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Technical means can be used not only in restoring nature, but also in researching and protecting it. For example, drones can be used to map drought and fire risk. Artificial intelligence can help predict and thus prevent deforestation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>IUCN NL supports and facilitates the use of these technologies by partners in their projects. We do this through funding, but also by collaborating on strategy or by providing training in the use of such technical tools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/V5_ENG_DIGITAAL_Innovative-technology.pdf\">Download the factsheet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"background background-preset-secondary\" id=\"block_7ff597f51bb0cb4cf12c321226ce89ef\">\n             <div class=\"dark custom-padding-top\">\n    \n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drones monitor landscape restoration in Ghana<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>In central and northern Ghana, we work with local partner organisations on landscape restoration by planting new seedlings and encouraging natural regeneration.

Indeed, these images allowed the state of possible connecting areas to be estimated, and thus the best consideration could be made to reconnect the pieces of forest.
