"For the last few years, drones have taken to the front lines of conservation efforts around the world. They're being used to monitor animal species and keep an eye out for poachers, venturing into areas that are either dangerous for humans or just plain hard to get to.

I'm hoping that more stable and quieter units are on the way but for now enjoy the article.
