Development of an intelligent tracking system for monitoring rhinos and elephants: A case study of Ngorongoro conservation area

An intelligent real-time tracking system for monitoring rhinos and elephants has been developed, offering promising solutions to improve current anti-poaching efforts. The study, conducted at Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania, achieved four key objectives: analyzing existing tracking systems, designing a smart sensing collar for emotion recognition, optimizing computational models for wildlife tracking, and creating a mobile application for real-time data collection. These innovations aim to enhance animal health monitoring, reduce the impact of adverse events like poaching or accidents, and provide timely assistance when needed. While the solutions serve as a proof of concept, further development is required before they can be implemented in practical applications.
