Guidelines for Wildlife Monitoring: Savannah Herbivores

Low Cost UAV-based Remote Sensing for Autonomous Wildlife Monitoring

In recent years, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles, lightweight on-board computers, and low-cost thermal imaging sensors offer a new opportunity for wildlife monitoring. In contrast with traditional methods now surveying endangered species to obtain population and location has become more cost-effective and least time-consuming. In this paper, a low-cost UAV-based remote sensing platform...

Sediment quality in freshwater impoundments at Savannah National Wildlife Refuge.

Freshwater impoundments at Savannah National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), South Carolina, provide an important habitat for wildlife species, but degraded sediment quality in the Savannah River downstream of the discharge from two impoundments have caused concern about potential contaminant problems within the impoundments. The quality of sediments from five impoundments (impoundments no. 1, 2, 6, 7, ...

The importance of vegetation density for tourists’ wildlife viewing experience and satisfaction in African savannah ecosystems

Southern African protected areas (PAs) harbour a great diversity of animals, which represent a large potential for wildlife tourism. In this region, global change is expected to result in vegetation changes, such as bush encroachment and increases in vegetation density. However, little is known on the influence of vegetation structure on wildlife tourists' wildlife viewing experience and satisf...

Wildlife Tracking and Monitoring System

1 ` ABSTRACT The international trade of endangered species-from tigers and rhinos to birds and butterflies-is second only to drug trafficking as the biggest source of illicit money worldwide. Wildlife crime syndicates operate all over Asia. As foreign as it may sound, animal theft, especially with endangered species, is quite common Our project aims at tracking animals and collecting precious d...
