Unmanned aerial vehicles (popularly known as drones) are being increasingly used in wildlife research. These remote-controlled devices are often used to collect information from areas which are otherwise very difficult to access by the researcher. Therefore, drones are promisingly advantageous over various traditional research techniques. Application of these technologies not only increases the accessibility but also reduces human effort and collect accurate information by causing minimal disturbance to the habitat. For these reasons, application of UAVs has gained popularity over last few decades in various domains of ecological research across the globe. In wildlife research, the UAVs are used in population surveys, dispersion studies, nest monitoring, radio telemetry studies, habitat assessment, etc. Undoubtedly, UAVs show great prospect of its application in many ecological and wildlife research in future. In such a scenario, this review is an attempt to provide the researchers with a glimpse of the remarkable progress along with the benefits and future scopes of this modern technology in various wildlife researches.
