New ways to understand wildlife movement

Flightpath is developing a new type of sensor to help ecologists study wildlife in flight. The work is shaped by practical field requirements and collaboration with the ecology community. The aim is to make new forms of movement data useful in real surveys and projects.

The work goes beyond building equipment: it aims to expand what field surveys can reveal.
