FOREL, Switzerland — In the lush fields of the Swiss town of Forel, volunteers use drones before dawn to find fawns, or young deer, nestled beneath tall grasses, preventing farmers from inadvertently harming them with heavy agricultural machinery.
A fawn is pictured under a wooden box after being found by a thermal drone and secured by volunteers of the Fondation Sauvetage Faons Vaud in a meadow before it was cut by a farmer, in Forel, near Lausanne, Switzerland, June 5, 2024.
Farmer Stephan Kohl, who was devastated when he accidentally killed a fawn in his field, has been using the foundation's free service to prevent further incidents. Established in 2018, the group alerts farmers to the presence of fawns so they can steer clear of them while reaping or mowing their property.
At the request of farmers, volunteers fly drones high above their fields, using thermal imaging to detect the presence of fawns.
