AN INTELLIGENT REAL-TIME WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK TRACKING SYSTEM FOR MONITORING RHINOS AND ELEPHANTS IN TANZANIA NATIONAL PARKS

The advancement of wireless sensor networks yields a variety of wireless sensor network for wildlifetracking. One typical application for wireless sensor networks is in animal tracking and monitoring inwildlife environments. A significant number of studies have been done in tracking animals with sensornetworks. However from the recent literature it is observed that there is no much study has been done onan intelligent real time sensor network that is capable to alerting the rangers an incidence of animalpoaching before it happened. In this paper an intelligent wireless sensor system for tracking andmonitoring rhinos and elephants is proposed.
