Abstract

India has been identified as an ecological blackspot where half of the wildlife is vulnerable to extinction. This is caused due to the destruction of forest areas for farming, logging and construction of new cities and towns. This is forcing the animals to move out of their habitat and into human establishments, which is causing problems to both animals and humans. Recent advancements in sensor technology has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the natural and man-made environment by providing fine grained spatio-temporal data (moving object databases and real time locating system). Physical barriers cause physical damage to animals which can sometimes lead to death of the very animals we are trying to protect. This can be prevented by using virtual fencing which is a lifesaving improvement from the existing system. This project implements a sensor network, designed to track the location of the animals in sanctuaries and national park without hurting the animals. Forest fire and deforestation (or any illegal activities in the forest) can also be monitored through this system and it helps us preventing the destruction of wildlife.
