The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa have resulted in huge cost in human lives and economic losses. Even the indirect economic impact on Africa as a whole has been huge as tourists have cancelled visits to Africa due to the fear of Ebola. In future it may be more cost-effective to monitor signs of potential outbreaks of Ebola among wildlife, especially along trade routes that may spread Ebola to highly populated areas.
In September 1996 the first prototype of the CyberTracker was tested in the Karoo National Park, South Africa. Karel Benadie (photo) was the first tracker to use the CyberTracker and played an integral role in the design of the user interface.
The Kruger National Park, the largest national park in South Africa, is using 125 CyberTracker units to collect more than a million records a year. CyberTracker monitoring plays a crucial role in the Strategic Adaptive Management framework of the Park.
The Doñana Monitoring Team of Natural Processes from Doñana Biological Station is co-responsible of the integrated long-term ecological monitoring of Doñana Natural Space since 2002. One of the major achievements has been the widespread use of CyberTracker software for data collection by monitoring staff in the field.
Imfolozi Game Reserve has been severely targeted in the recent upsurge of rhino poaching currently being experienced in KwaZulu – Natal. As such this park was identified as a high priority park requiring urgent Cybertracker implementation.
CyberTracker field observations gathered in Central African rain forests have been used for satellite image geo-referencing and interpretation and for map validation at a level of detail never achieved before.
Procedures used by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to conduct aerial line transect surveys of pronghorn populations. CyberTracker is used with a Laser Rangefinder to capture data, which is then analysed using the Distance 5.0 software.
Wildlife monitoring with CyberTracker in B-Sector of the Great Gobi Specially Protected Area in south-western Mongolia. A digital wildlife monitoring protocol based on line transect sampling.
The unique icon interface made CyberTracker the ideal data capture tool in the harsh weather conditions of an Arctic research expedition.
