Drones with thermal cameras are tested to keep grizzly bears away from human areas, reducing conflicts.

Drones equipped with thermal cameras are being tested to deter grizzly bears from approaching human areas, reducing conflicts. This non-lethal method aims to teach bears to avoid humans, offering a safer alternative to traditional hazing with noise-makers. Early research suggests drones can effectively move bears away and may help in long-term behavior modification, making them a promising tool in wildlife management.
