Counting penguins is tough work. Traditionally, scientists relied on manual tagging, a labour-intensive method of physically tagging and relocating penguins annually. Helicopters were considered but proved expensive, loud, and limited in imagery quality.

The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise with DJI Terra software alleviates this labour, providing superior data in less time. Its 3D photogrammetry capabilities archive nest locations and colony conditions, offering a more accurate and ethical method for long-term monitoring.

Dr. Grant Humphries, Director of Science at Oceanites stated that “DJI Terra was fantastic in the field. I was able to fully render penguin colonies using the Mapping functionality in just a few hours and it really helped us for being able to count the birds and have a record for replication and comparison next year.”
