Technology can be used to track and monitor endangered species from "summary" of The Sixth Extinction (10th Anniversary Edition) by Elizabeth Kolbert
Technology has revolutionized the way scientists track and monitor endangered species. With the help of various tools like GPS collars, camera traps, and drones, researchers can gather valuable data about the behavior and movements of these at-risk animals. For example, by attaching GPS collars to animals such as elephants or rhinoceroses, scientists can track their movements in real-time, allowing them to better understand their habitat needs and migration patterns. Camera traps have also proven to be a valuable tool in monitoring endangered species. These motion-activated cameras can capture images of elusive animals without disturbing them, providing researchers with important insights into their behavior and population size. In addition, drones have become increasingly popular for monitoring wildlife from above, allowing scientists to survey vast areas of land quickly and efficiently. By utilizing these technological advancements, researchers can gather data on endangered species more effectively than ever before. This information is crucial for conservation efforts, as it allows scientists to identify threats to these animals and develop strategies to protect them. In this way, technology plays a vital role in helping to save endangered species from extinction.- The use of technology in tracking and monitoring endangered species has revolutionized the field of conservation biology. By providing researchers with valuable data and insights, these tools are essential for protecting at-risk animals and ensuring their survival for future generations.
