Who we work with

Every stakeholder. Complete visibility.

Conservation bodies

Monitor vegetation health, detect encroachment, and track environmental changes across protected areas.

Forestry departments

Support forest census programmes, regulatory monitoring, and enforcement with accurate aerial surveys.

Carbon developers

Baseline assessments, tree census, biomass calculations, and ongoing monitoring for carbon credit verification.

Plantation managers

Detect stressed vegetation, identify encroachment, and track growth patterns to protect your investment.

Research institutions

Biodiversity assessments, habitat mapping, and environmental change tracking with multi-sensor aerial surveys.

Where we add value

Drone monitoring across every stage of your forest management programme

Whether establishing a baseline, monitoring ongoing change, or responding to an incident, we provide targeted aerial data services designed around forest environments.

Baseline assessment

Foundation

The challenge

Traditional ground surveys of large or remote forest areas are time-consuming, expensive, and often incomplete, making it difficult to establish a reliable baseline for monitoring or carbon programmes.

What you get

High-resolution forest extent and vegetation maps

Tree census data including species distribution and density

Biomass and carbon stock calculations

3D canopy models for structural analysis

Ongoing monitoring

Health tracking

The challenge

Vegetation stress, illegal encroachment, and gradual deforestation are difficult to detect consistently across large areas, especially before visible damage has already occurred.

What you get

Periodic vegetation health and condition reports

Change detection analysis against baseline

Encroachment alerts mapped to specific locations

Updated carbon stock data for compliance

Incident response

Rapid deploy

The challenge

When fires, illegal logging, or sudden vegetation loss occur, response teams need accurate data fast. Ground-level assessment of large affected areas is slow and puts personnel at risk.

What you get

Rapid aerial assessment of affected areas

Damage extent mapped to specific locations

Priority response zones identified

Post-incident documentation for recovery

Reporting and compliance

Audit-ready

The challenge

Carbon credit projects and government forestry programmes require accurate, verifiable data. Inconsistent collection methods and incomplete records create compliance risk and undermine credibility.

What you get

Audit-ready forest inventory and carbon reports

Verified tree census and biomass calculations

Change detection documentation for compliance

Data formatted for international carbon standards

The Process

From first contact to final report

Step 1

Project scoping

We understand your forest area, monitoring objectives, and specific data requirements before deploying.

Step 2

Data collection

RGB, multispectral, and thermal aerial surveys tailored to your monitoring needs, covering large and remote areas efficiently.

Step 3

AI-powered analysis

Vegetation stress detection, change analysis, tree census, and carbon stock calculations processed with accuracy and consistency.

Step 4

Reporting

Structured reports and compliance-ready documentation formatted for your programme or verification standard.

Why Dronet

We bring more than a drone to every inspection

Multi-sensor capability for complete forest intelligence

RGB shows you what is there. Multispectral shows you what is stressed. Thermal reveals what is hidden. We combine all three for a complete picture, not just what is visible from above.

Carbon calculations your programme can rely on

Tree census, biomass estimation, and carbon stock calculations require specialist expertise. Our geospatial specialists deliver verified, audit-ready carbon data that meets international programme standards.

Built for Africa’s forest environments

From tropical forests to savanna woodlands and commercial plantations, our monitoring programmes are designed for Africa’s diverse and often remote forest environments, delivering consistent data regardless of terrain or canopy density.
