Abstract
Deforestation has been an increasingly relevant topic not only in research, but also for the wellbeing of future generations. In 2019 the world was in awe at the sight of raging fires in the Amazon Rainforest. 2019 saw the largest loss of forest cover in the Amazon since 2008.1 Rainforest devastation will increasingly affect integral aspects of our eve- ryday life in the decades ahead. Capturing around 5% of global CO2 output each year, the Amazon Rainforest already plays a critical role in restraining the effects of climate change.2 Setting the Amazon ablaze not only decreases the capacity to absorb carbon, but also releases more carbon. This has serious consequences with a possible tipping point at which the damage caused is irreversible eventually turning the region into a “tropical savannah”.3

Abstract
German Acceptance
Drones are an increasingly popular topic not only in public, but also in private companies, among scientists and researchers. In society, however, people are reluctant to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for a number of applications. These include the strongest resistance factors: security and privacy. Increasingly intertwined issues such as urbanization, traffic congestion and climate change, however, require new solutions. While the rules are being established, new smart city solutions, such as unmanned aircraft, will slowly find a fair share of public acceptance. NASA's new UTM (Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management) project is a key initiative to develop uniform rules for UAVs.1
