Drones Are Saving Hundreds of Fawns
A Bavarian volunteer group used to search meadows on foot for fawns hiding from mowers — finding just 10-15 a year. After adding thermal-imaging drones, they now save 300-350 fawns every single year.

Every spring, thousands of fawns are killed by mowing machines across Germany — because their only instinct when they're scared is to freeze, not run. This year, drones are the reason hundreds of them didn't die.
A Bavarian volunteer group called Rehkitz-Rettung Mangfalltal used to search meadows on foot, walking shoulder to shoulder across entire fields. It worked, but it was slow — they were only finding ten to fifteen fawns a year.
Then they added thermal-imaging drones. Flying eighty to a hundred meters up, the drones spot a fawn's body heat hidden in the grass before the mower ever gets close.
The rescues didn't just improve. They multiplied — to between three hundred and three hundred fifty fawns saved every single year.
