DroneWild is an end-to-end platform and service to aid individuals and organisations in wildlife management and conservation. We leverage the latest drone technology along with intelligent mapping software, which can be deployed effectively in the field to locate animals in real time. The platform is built around four key pillars: hardware, software, machine learning, and training. Learn more about the services we offer here.

DroneWild was founded in the summer of 2023.

DroneWild is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, but our team operates across the UK and internationally, delivering drone, mapping, and AI solutions tailored to your needs, wherever you are in the world.

We are open Monday - Friday, from 09:00 to 17:00. You can contact us at info@dronewild.co.uk.

Here at DroneWild, there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to using our platform. Everyone will have different objectives, experience levels and budgets to work with. But we're here to help. You can start by contacting us to discuss your needs. Whether you're an individual operator, estate, or organisation, we'll guide you through the process of choosing the right tools, training, and support.

We provide hardware, software, machine learning, and training solutions to meet a wide range of tasks surrounding wildlife and land management. Learn more about our services here.

Yes, whether you are starting from scratch and require a full and comprehensive package including hardware, software, the machine learning app, and training, or simply require a single component, we can tailor packages to your needs. If you’re in doubt as to which option is right for you, please contact the team at info@dronewild.co.uk.

No, our systems are currently designed to integrate with third-party drone manufacturers. These include world-leading brands, such as DJI and Autel.

Depending on your objectives and budget, there are several drone options available on the market. Our team has extensive experience in drone operations and will be able to guide you to the best solution for your needs, whether that's lightweight UAVs with thermal image sensors, or heavy-lift models capable of carrying loads of up to 100kg when deployed remotely. Contact us at info@dronewild.co.uk to discuss these options with one of our team.

Currently, the machine learning model can identify all five species of UK-based deer (Red, Roe, Sika, Fallow, Muntjac, and Chinese Water Deer), as well as sheep and wild boar/feral pigs but the model is currently being trained on other species.

The drones we recommend for locating and monitoring wildlife are lightweight models with relatively low acoustic levels when in operation. In the hands of a competent and considerate operator, a drone will rarely disturb wildlife. Our training programs are designed to help you fly with confidence, efficiency, and the know-how to mitigate any impact on wildlife in the field.

Yes, some of the systems we use include thermal imaging, which allows for detection in low-light or nighttime conditions. We can advise on appropriate models and configurations.

Yes, rain, mist, or bright sunlight can impact thermal performance. Our training covers how to interpret thermal imagery and mitigate environmental limitations.

Yes, our team is on hand to help with any questions or issues you encounter. Please reach out to us at info@dronewild.co.uk, and we will respond to your request as soon as possible.

Absolutely. We offer onboarding for individuals and small teams, right up to organisations level through and field-based training workshops. Let us know your requirements.

Yes, but what’s required depends on how and where you plan to fly. In the UK, most drone operators need to register with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and obtain a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Some operations may also require an A2 C-of-C, GVC, or Operational Authorisation. You can learn more on the CAA website or contact us for help.

Absolutely. We offer individual and organisation-level onboarding, including field-based workshops. Let us know your requirements.

The training we provide is centred around using the hardware, software and machine learning app for application in wildlife management. However, we work with specialist training providers who can help you obtain the necessary certifications such as the A2 C-of-C or GVC. We’re happy to make introductions and help you navigate the process.

If you’re flying commercially, you are legally required to have insurance under EC 785/2004. We can point you toward reputable providers.

Yes, we regularly post new updates on our blog. You can stay up to date with the latest posts here.
