Today is World Nature Conservation Day, observed globally every year on July 28.
This day underscores the need to preserve natural resources and protect the environment.
So on this occasion, let’s take a look at how technology is enhancing wildlife conservation.
Wildlife conservation aims to protect animals and plants by saving their natural homes, reducing pollution, and enforcing protective laws.
Drones, camera traps, satellites, and acoustic monitoring are used to study wildlife and their habitats.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) can transform how we understand and protect wildlife.
GPS tracking and camera traps help scientists monitor animal movements and behaviors in real-time.
Drones and thermal imaging cameras are used to spot and deter poachers, reducing illegal hunting.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite imagery help create maps of habitats, track deforestation, and plan conservation strategies.
Social media, mobile apps, and virtual reality help raise awareness and engage the public in conservation efforts.
