| A wireless sensor network to monitor and protect tigers in the wild | |
| 2015 Ecological Indicators (57): 447-451 | |
This paper investigates the possibility to efficiently use a wireless sensor network (WSN) to help pre-venting poaching in tiger habitats and to identify tigers' movement patterns that later on can provide valuable information about their territorial behavior, hunting and reproduction. The same method can be successfully applied to track other mammals in the wild. We concluded that these objectives can be achieved in a 2000 sq. km area with only 2000 module sensors that work in the ZigBee standard, that operates on the IEEE 802.15.4 physical radio specification. |
