The King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority announced that it has leveraged drones to assist experts and field teams in monitoring the growth and health of vegetation cover in farming projects within the reserve.
The authority noted that the drones include various types of three-dimensional and multispectral cameras, as well as thermal sensors, providing high-quality spatial accuracy, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.
Through the analysis of captured images, results and information, inferences are generated to monitor the progress of rehabilitation sites, the authority explained.
The authority underlined its commitment to achieving its goals in preserving and sustaining the environment. So far, it has planted over 2.4 million seedlings of various plants in the reserve and has sown more than 4 tons of local plant seeds.
Moreover, the authority has been working on developing local communities and enhancing eco-tourism in the region.

Kate, Britain's Princess of Wales, visited a London hospital on Tuesday where she underwent cancer treatment last year to personally thank medics there for their care and support, her office said.

Kate, 43, underwent a course of preventative chemotherapy after major abdominal surgery a year ago revealed the presence of cancer.

For the treatment, which concluded in September, Kate attended the Royal Marsden Hospital in central London and on Tuesday she paid an official visit there to mark her becoming joint patron of its specialist cancer unit along with her husband Prince William, Reuters reported.

On her visit she met patients and staff and spoke of her own treatment. A royal source said Kate had wanted to show her gratitude to the hospital staff and highlight its work.

"We are incredibly fortunate to receive Royal Patronage – it is inspiring for staff and patients and enables us to shine a light on the outstanding work our staff deliver every day for patients and their families," said Cally Palmer, Chief Executive of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.

Kate's illness meant she was absent from royal duties for most of last year, although she gave a number of health updates in highly personal video messages.
