"We must urgently put an end to poaching and ensure that sufficient suitable habitat for both forest and savanna elephants is conserved," Dr. Bruno Oberle, Director-General of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature , said when discussing the potential new technology. The cameras, developed in collaboration between Dutch tech start-up Hack the Planet and British scientists at Stirling University, will be able to detect different animal species and humans in real time and provide live alerts to local villages and rangers, Stirling wrote in a press release.
A pilot test of the tech, which works with satellites and a range of networks including Wi-Fi, long-rage radio and cellular coverage, immediately labeled images and sent out warnings calling for help. deter elephants from wandering"Real-time data from smart cameras and other sensors could revolutionize how we monitor and protect the world's most threatened ecosystems," Dr. Robin Whytock, Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of Stirling, said of the study.
The system will be able to also help catch poachers and ensure the safety of endangered animals. Researchers
