¿Has visto alguna vez un nido de aguilucho cenizo o una madriguera de turón estepario desde arriba?

Yo sí, y te aseguro que cambia completamente la perspectiva de lo que puedes hacer como bióloga.

Hace unos días salvamos un nido gracias a un dron con cámara térmica. El tractor iba a pasar justo por encima y ni nos habríamos enterado sin esa vista aérea. El agricultor, súper majo, ahora tiene el nido vallado y protegido.

¿Sabes qué es lo mejor? Que tú también puedes conseguir esta habilidad si te apuntas al taller que voy a dar el sábado 7 de junio a las 11.

  • Evitar la confusión y el estrés con toda la burocracia y tecnicismos del mundo de los drones.
  • Destacar en procesos de selección cuando pongas en tu CV y LinkedIn que tienes el certificado de piloto de drones.
  • Conocer casos reales y prácticos del uso de drones en conservación.

👉 Una nueva habilidad muy útil, cotizada y cada vez más demandada.




¿Qué vamos a hacer concretamente?

  1. Entender qué es el certificado A1/A3 y en qué se diferencia de otras categorías.
  2. Hacer la inscripción en la AESA juntos, paso a paso.
  3. Ver las reglas básicas de vuelo, obligaciones del piloto y trucos para tus vuelos.
  4. Descubrir casos de uso reales de drones en conservación de especies y hábitats.
