Internet of Things for Efficient Wildlife Conservation: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Danau Girang Field Centre (DGFC) is located in Sabah Malaysia. The only access to the field centre is through the river. Similarly, all the research activities are conducted by going through the river. It is worth noting that Sabah Malaysia is a high humidity region where electronic components could get damaged quite quickly due to environmental factors such as moisture. Further, in jungle terrains, insects could also get attracted to copper within electronic components. We need to keep in mind this context when we are addressing the challenges. We conducted a two full-day workshop to explore and identify research challenges that could potentially be addressed using the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies
