Ontario is bringing home the bacon, or at least trying to by deploying drones with thermal cameras to track down invasive wild pigs before they wreak havoc to the local ecosystem.
The province uses Remotely Piloted Aircrafts Systems (RPAS) equipped with thermal imaging to ease their search on reported wild pig sightings, as these drones can detect feral hogs in thick brush.
There’s good reason to make wild pigs a protected species in the war against invasive species.
