Keeping Track of the
Environment
|
Our vision is to promote the development of a worldwide environmental monitoring network. We encourage CyberTracker users to communicate with others about their projects. We welcome a short description of your project with photographs and contact details sent to info@cybertracker.co.za.
Kruger National Park,
South Africa
The Kruger National Park uses 125 CyberTracker units to gather more than
a million
records per year. For the first time it was possible to conduct an
accurate survey of the rare Black Rhino. CyberTracker data also include
daily field ranger patrol information, species distribution, tracks of
rare animals, availability of surface water, location of carcasses,
poaching activities, distribution of invasive species, fire mapping,
vegetation surveys, impact of elephants…

dynamic and ever-changing network of systems that work and interact
together in ways that we are only just beginning to understand.
NaturalWorld is aimed at providing and analysing environmental data that
can help to show a better overall understanding of our World.

The Snow
Leopard Conservancy has joined forces with CyberTracker to develop a
simple system using a hand-held computer with a GPS to enable local
people to monitor and record information on snow leopards, their prey
and habitat.

The concurrent data collection - both in space and time - on birds and cetaceans (especially dolphins) may allow a better understanding of ecological linkages in the marine ecosystem. Read more…
