BAT Guardian
Bat Guardian protects bats flight. To keep them from being disturbed by wind turbines.
In recent years, the wind power interferes with bat migration and each year hundreds of thousands of bats die in wind farm facilities. BAT Guardian is a drone that guides the bat to flight. A pilot with specialized audio and lighting for the habits of the bats, with specific ultrasound echolocation and phototropism, to lead the bats of the wind farm and make the bat's ecosphere is protected.
