Abstract: Forests are the lungs of the planet and are vital for maintaining life on Earth. Their destruction means the destruction of all the living beings on Earth, be it the creatures that inhabit the forests or the people living in villages and towns. If we want to have a future on this planet we must understand that humans can’t breathe money and we must take urgent drastic measures to defend our forests. The solution to this problem can be the usage of drones for patrolling the forests in order to spot and stop illegal logging. Unfortunately foresters are often the victims of the wood thieves and some of them pay with their lives for protecting the forest. All this suffering and loss can be stopped if drones are used for security. Drones are more efficient in covering a vast area of forest and can spot the exact location of the thieves in order to send there the police to arrest them.
