Sustainable Forest Monitoring: A Comprehensive Wireless Sensor Solution Against Illegal Logging

The “Intelligent Forest Protection System” is a wireless network designed to combat illegal tree logging and perform comprehensive environmental monitoring. It comprises three units: Tree Unit, Gateway, and Forest Officer Unit. The Tree Unit uses vibration sensors and continuity checkers to detect illegal cutting attempts, while also measuring temperature, humidity, and rainfall for environmental insights. The Gateway connects multiple Tree Units, receiving alerts about illegal logging and environmental data like temperature, humidity, rainfall, and fire. It integrates HC12, GPS, and GSM modem for seamless communication. The Forest Officer Unit receives realtime alerts through GSM, empowering immediate responses to potential illegal activities. Additionally, the officer gains access to environmental metrics via a mobile app, enabling proactive conservation efforts and timely responses to forest threats. The Intelligent Forest Protection System combines cutting-edge sensor technology with efficient communication to combat illegal logging and monitor environmental conditions effectively, contributing to the preservation of valuable forests and ecosystems.
