In the meantime, the association has a total of three drones in use for the protection of Montagu&#8217;s harriers. The POISuite makes these a networked tool tailored to the protection of Montagu&#8217;s harriers. This enables the association Wiesenweihen- und Naturschutz Nordostdeutschland to locate and protect the nests of the endangered ground breeder more quickly and effectively.   <\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-27ebd7e\" data-block-id=\"27ebd7e\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Since the association began its work more than 20 years ago, a weak positive trend has been observed in the Montagu&#8217;s harrier population. However, this is no reason for a breather. In view of the progressive climate change, the species faces major challenges.  <\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-9ff22a5\" data-block-id=\"9ff22a5\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Innovative solutions can effectively support the work of the volunteers and significantly increase their impact.

It is only one component in a comprehensive protection concept. Crucial are the cooperation with agriculture, an adapted management and the design of suitable habitats.
