For years, a tribe in Guyana has been compiling evidence that loggers were illegally tearing down their forests. But***thing has worked as well as their latest effort: a new drone, which they built using a*GoPro-donated camera and some string, with YouTube videos as their guide.
The Wapichan tribe, one of several indige**us groups in Guyana, built their fixed-wing drone to support a camera that snaps a picture every two seconds,*Quartz reported in a story (http://qz.com/662530/a-tiny-forest-tribe-built-a-diy-drone-from-youtube-to-fight-off-illegal-loggers/) on the tribe.

The device is able to travel more than 30 miles at a time, and its photos help stitch together a map of tribal land that is being abused by the loggers.* Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/04/19/guyana-tribe-drone-youtube/)
