Poachers Will Be Monitored by Drones

For this, the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed expanding the powers of Rospotrebnadzor and Rosprirodnadzor

The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed amendments to the regulatory legal acts of Rospotrebnadzor and Rosprirodnadzor for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the fight against poachers. With the assignment to provide options for changing legislation, Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov turned to the ANO "Federal Center for Unmanned Aviation Systems" (FC UAS), a source close to the Ministry of Industry and Trade told Vedomosti. This information was confirmed by a second interlocutor close to this ministry.

A representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade told Vedomosti that for now, on the initiative, "there are no details." Vedomosti sent inquiries to Rosprirodnadzor, Rospotrebnadzor, and the FC UAS.

The General Director of "UAS Glory Air," in his comment, noted that currently there is indeed no direct mention in the legislation about the use of drones for combating poachers, which complicates their legitimate use as a tool for operational control.
