Different methods were used to evaluate beaver Castor canadensis, Khul 1820 populations, and their impact on the environment. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential use of cenital aerial photographs taken with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a new application tool for these activities, based on the generation, interpretation and application of the obtained information. The images obtained during the first tests allowed us to generate geo-referenced orthophotomosaics, digital elevation models (DEM), and topographic maps of high spatial resolution to detect different signs of beaver activity, of great use for the management of the species while reducing the time spent covering areas of difficult access.
