Advanced Forest Protection

Forest conservation is entering a new era led by foresight, not fear. Recognized by Environmental Business Review as the Advanced Forest Protection System of the Year in Europe 2025, DROVID Technologies stands at the forefront of this transformation. Powered by cutting-edge innovation, this Chile-born startup, deeply rooted in nature, replaces reactive measures with real-time intelligence, enabling proactive action against persistent threats such as wildfires and illegal deforestation. Rather than waiting for flames to flare or trees to fall, DROVID tackles the human behaviors that spark most wildfires. Its autonomous hybrid drones and a cloud-native SaaS platform capture real-time, high-resolution imagery across thousands of hectares. Advanced analytics then sift through this data to flag risky activities—illegal logging, unauthorized camping, off-road vehicles—long before embers ignite. By catching these warning signs early, DROVID helps forest managers intervene proactively, preserving ecosystems and slashing the enormous costs of firefighting. “Our message is clear and direct: together, we can rewrite the history of forest fires and deforestation, transforming the narrative of inevitable loss into the reality of intelligent prevention and active protection,” states Cristian León, founder & CEO of DROVID Technologies. Adopting DROVID’s Smart Prevention platform is simple and flexible. A subscription model bundles everything—from drone leasing and software access to maintenance and support— eliminating the need for heavy upfront investment. Its modular architecture seamlessly adapts to diverse landscapes and organizational structures. The platform is built around a groundbreaking new methodology—unique in the world and currently patent pending— providing clients with an exclusive competitive edge that sets them apart in wildfire prevention and response. From Reaction to Prediction Building on its proactive ethos, DROVID’s platform integrates its autonomous hybrid drones with proprietary algorithms to deliver true real-time forest surveillance. Each drone, able to cover up to a remarkable 20,000 hectares per flight, carries a suite of visual, thermal, and meteorological sensors. Proprietary AI engines AirWERD and AirRAPT then analyze this continuous data stream. While AirWERD pinpoints nascent heat signatures and smoke plumes, AirRAPT flags human behaviors that have the potential to spark wildfires.
