无人机似乎为自然保护监测和执法方面的一些技术挑战提供了一种灵活、准确和负担得起的解决方案。然而，很少有人关注它们可能产生的社会影响。在这篇文章中，我回顾了使用无人机进行保护可能产生的社会影响，包括对安全、隐私、心理健康、数据安全和对保护问题的更广泛理解。我认为，在某些情况下，负面的社会影响是可能的，应该关注保护，原因有两个：(1)因为保护应该遵循良好的道德实践；(2)因为负面的社会影响可能会破坏长期的保护效果。论文最后呼吁进行实证研究，以确定已确定的无人机社会风险是否确实存在，以及如何减轻这些风险，并呼吁保护部门对无人机的使用进行自我监管，以确保良好的道德实践，并将意外后果的风险降至最低。
Unmanned aerial vehicles, or ‘drones’, appear to offer a flexible, accurate and affordable solution to some of the technical challenges of nature conservation monitoring and law enforcement. However, little attention has been given to their possible social impacts. In this paper, I review the possible social impacts of using drones for conservation, including on safety, privacy, psychological wellbeing, data security and the wider understanding of conservation problems. I argue that negative social impacts are probable under some circumstances and should be of concern for conservation for two reasons: (1) because conservation should follow good ethical practice; and (2) because negative social impacts could undermine conservation effectiveness in the long term. The paper concludes with a call for empirical research to establish whether the identified social risks of drones occur in reality and how they could be mitigated, and for self-regulation of drone use by the conservation sector to ensure good ethical practice and minimise the risk of unintended consequences.
