  • Abstract
    As UAVs are becoming widely used by conservationists, some countries are trying to ban them on ethical grounds. Just when you thought it was safe to stop talking about UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) as something that conservationists and authorities might one day use to stop poachers killing animals and start talking about drones as something actually being used to catch poachers, African governments have started banning them.
