Sistema de geolocalização de animais silvestres

Abstract

The conservation of species depends on actions that seek practical and effective solutions for animals monitoring, control and management. Anthropogenic pressure and environmental crime, such as trafficking and illegal hunting, have led thousands of animals to extinction. To preserve biodiversity, it is necessary to combine environmental knowledge with the development of innovative technologies. The aim of this project is the elaboration of a tracking collar prototype, so data can be collected to aid in studies and protection of these individuals. As the environments where these animals live can hardly access mobile telephony coverage, the project proposal constitutes the creation of a communication network within these territories with the development of gateways and collars that communicate with each other through a mesh network and with the Internet over a cable or wireless communication. The communication between the collars and the gateway will be done with Sub-GHz and the communication between the Gateway and the cloud will be done using a Ethernet or mobile telephony connection.
