Maybe a good new tool to track pollution and illegal mining in Goa.
Imagine NGOs working with the government, or the Press using drones to
identify and track culprits or crime. Amazing visual documents can be
collected and this can be done with wee and cheap small vehicles under
60 kg...

Drone in Journalism: The Future of News Gathering?
Interest in the potential for using drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAV), for journalism is growing. As the technology becomes cheaper and
easier to use, journalist are experimenting with using drones for news
gathering. They offer the opportunity to document scenes that cannot be
captured on the ground and to be used in circumstances when it would be
too dangerous to send in a journalist.
