Rapid technological progress contributes to the development of tools that increasingly support the retardation of the transformation of natural resources. Multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), due to their mobility, are used in monitoring, research, and protection of the natural environment. The potential for using UAVs is growing with the availability of sensors and multispectral and thermal cameras. The article focuses on selected examples of the use of UAVs in activities affecting the retardation of the transformation of environmental resources, in particular, their use in monitoring air quality, municipal landfills, energy installations, and wildfires.
