SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 15. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Natural Environment and Security Management area, has acquired two drones that will be used, mainly, for the development of technical work and also for surveys on illegal constructions and non-permitted uses of spaces, even in searching for missing persons or rescues in between.
Specifically, these devices will be used to assess hillsides and embankments, fire investigations, topographical surveys, detection of introduced flora, surveillance of fauna, monitoring of forestry and reforestation work, evaluation of erosion control, monitoring of track works and trails, among others.
“These two new units are incorporated into the technical staff of the Environment agents with the intention of increasing the means of surveillance and control in the protected natural areas of the island”, explained the Minister of Natural Environment Management and Security, Elizabeth Garcia.
“The intention of the area is to complement, as far as possible, all the necessary tools for the development of the control of infractions in the environment, but also for the analysis of circumstances such as forest fires,” said the counselor.
The three devices, 2 DJI Mavic Enterprise Dual models and one Mavic Enterprise Advanced, as well as the spare parts kits with batteries, focus speaker and night flight beacon, along with their equipment consisting of spare parts, GPS beacon, fleet control software, insurance and memory cards have been purchased with a budget of 13,137 euros.
