Solution
Nature Reserve Smart Monitoring
Track key protected species and ecosystem change continuously and comparably over time.
Background
Reserves are core habitats of protected species; long-term monitoring of distribution, abundance and activity supports stewardship and assessment.
Current Challenges
- ●Limited patrol & survey manpower
- ●Protected species are elusive
- ●Scattered data, no time series
- ●Hard to quantify outcomes
Solution
Flagship Species Monitoring
Dedicated acoustic & image lines for flagship species.
Grid Sensing
Grid deployment across elevation and vegetation.
Trend Assessment
Continuous data supports species & community trend assessment.
Stewardship Support
Alerts and reports serve reserve stewardship directly.
