Botanists are increasingly collaborating with paramotorists to access fragile ecosystems that were previously hard to survey, combining speed and environmental friendliness.
In addition, recent findings suggest that paramotoring, as a method of transportation for ecological research, offers a viable alternative to traditionally disruptive off-road vehicles. This new approach minimizes environmental impact while significantly enhancing the efficiency of plant data collection.
The partnership between Kew Gardens scientists and paramotorists allowed for an impressive exploration of coastal fog oases, an ecologically critical area home to over 1,700 unique plant species.
Through their air missions, the paramotorists not only helped expedite the research process but also demonstrated a commitment to protecting fragile ecosystems that thrive in moisture-saturated regions of otherwise arid landscapes.
