Role of the Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Networks in Automation of Wildlife Sanctuaries

Wildlife sanctuaries are vital ecosystems housing endangered and protected species, making it critical to preserve biodiversity and maintain ecological balance. While monitoring animals and habitat is challenging, including technological advancements such as IoT and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can significantly improve wildlife sanctuary operations. The Internet of Things offers a system of interconnected devices and sensors collecting and exchanging real-time data, including temperature, humidity, and animal activity. Automation is equally valuable- leveraging technology to manage resources, monitor animal movements, and track weather patterns. By implementing IoT and WSN technology, wildlife sanctuaries can benefit from improved insights into the conditions of the sanctuary and behavior of wildlife, ultimately promoting sanctuary preservation. The Internet of Things (IoT) along with automation is a great technological advancement that can bring about various benefits to wildlife sanctuaries. The monitoring of wildlife and their habitat is critical for sustaining and enhancing natural ecosystems. This article looks at the role of IoT and WSNs in automation for improvisation of wildlife sanctuaries.
