如果没有有效和可扩展的人类干预，到2050年，世界上多达95%的生态系统将受到人为退化的影响。因此，必须立即进行大规模的生态恢复，以阻止生物多样性丧失和生态系统衰退。生态学家必须利用最有效和最高效的工具来实现成功的恢复目标。无人机（即，无人驾驶飞行器）是环境、林业和农业部门的一套宝贵工具;然而，在恢复生态学方面的应用有限。在这里，我们的目标是强调无人机在恢复科学和实践中的现有和新兴用途。我们讨论了这些应用程序的优点和缺点，并提供了一个路线图，以提高无人机的利用率，以完善和增强恢复目标。我们的文章是在考虑恢复连续性的情况下提出的，包括恢复规划，实施和监测部分。我们还采取了一种新颖的方法，描述无人机如何与生态恢复学会发布的全球公认的恢复工具相关。无人机被用于多种恢复场景，从绘制栖息地和管理野火，到监测恢复干预措施的有效性。其他学科的许多应用也可以转移到恢复场景中。然而，无人机的使用将取决于环境，需要解决几个技术和实际限制。无人机在恢复项目的各个阶段都有很大的潜力来改善恢复的科学和实践，这对实现联合国生态系统恢复十年的目标至关重要。
In the absence of effective and scalable human intervention, up to 95% of the world's ecosystems will be affected by anthropogenic degradation by 2050. Therefore, immediate and large‐scale ecological restoration is imperative to stem biodiversity loss and ecosystem decline. Ecologists must draw upon the most effective and efficient tools available to achieve successful restoration goals. Drones (i.e., unmanned aerial vehicles) are a valuable set of tools in the environmental, forestry, and agriculture sectors; however, there has been limited uptake in restoration ecology. Here, we aim to highlight the existing and emerging uses of drones in restoration science and practice. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these applications and provide a roadmap for increasing the utilisation of drones to refine and enhance restoration objectives. Our article is presented with the restoration continuum in mind, including sections for restoration planning, implementation and monitoring. We also take a novel approach by describing how drones relate to a globally recognised restoration tool published by the Society for Ecological Restoration. Drones are used in several restoration scenarios from mapping habitats and managing wildfires, to monitoring the effectiveness of restoration interventions. Many applications in other disciplines can also be transferred to restoration scenarios. However, the use of drones will be context‐dependent, and several technical and practical constraints need to be addressed. Drones have considerable potential to improve the science and practice of restoration at all stages of a restoration project, which is vital to realising the goals of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
