Drones to the Rescue

A leader of the indigenous Dayak people of East Kalimantan’s Setulang village in Indonesia looks up to the sky, a traditional woven headdress shielding his eyes from the sun. As Saleh Uwang watches, a three-armed tricopter drone rises into the air, beginning a mapping mission that he hopes will help his community protect its access to the forest area known as “Taneh Ulen,” which the community had traditionally managed. “Straight, one kilometer!” he says, gesturing with his hand at the drone as it floats off into the distance.
