The Role of Wireless Sensor Network in Tracking Wild Animals Crossing Forest Boundaries

S. Saranya, S. Viswanathan, D. Jayakumar

Abstract


Every living creature on this earth has equal importance in the ecosystem. But nowadays life of wild animals is in danger. Wild animals used to move freely in the forest or in the jungle. If any accident happens to them in the forest, physical injury or any disease may cause even death of animals in the forest deforestation of forest in this factor any animals is going on out of boundary in our forest. In such situations we cannot find out exact location of animal in such a large area. To avoid such problems in the finding exact geographical location of animal in the jungle, national park or in wildlife reserves, wildlife animal tracking system is used. This system utilizes technologies such as Global Positioning System and Global System for Mobile Communication.
