Ultra-Reduced-Impact-Encased-Logging (URIEL): propose a new method for selective sustainable logging and post-harvest silvicultural treatment in tropical forest using airborne robotics systems

Tropical forests worldwide are under intense deforestation pressure driven by economic and political interests, and scientific evidence suggests this deforestation contributes to climate change. This paper proposes a novel logging method for tropical forests, Ultra-Reduced-Impact-Encased-Logging (URIEL). This new method is based on heli-logging techniques combined with intensive use of robotics and AI integrated with post-harvest silvicultural treatments performed by drones. The concept of appro
