Dear coservationdrones team,
I have just seen your great TED talk; and let me tell you, you are doing a wonderful work!
My name is Edersson Cabrera, I am working at the moment in Colombia in the establisment
of the National Forest Monitoring System project. Currently, We are considering to star with
the use of drones as a support of Monitoring activities on deforestation, forest degradation
and carbón stoks. Could you please share with us soñé additional details about the technical
specifications of the MAJA model, How se can acquire ir, get some training or How can
We work together? The main idea of the forest Monitoring System is to generate and publish
accurate information about the forest cover, deforestation rates, forest degradation, and carbon
stocks estimations .
We are looking forward for your comments and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Edersson

I am on my local Conservation Commission and we are doing a natural resource inventory. We are interested in purchasing the MAJA model. How can we do that?
Yours truly
