Intelligent Energy Efficient GNSS Assisted and Lora- Based Positioning for Wildlife Tracking

Wildlife tracking plays a vital role in conservation, behavioral analysis, and ensuring the safety of both animals and humans. This project presents an intelligent GNSS-based wildlife tracking system with geo-fencing and wireless alert mechanisms. A GPS module is used to continuously monitor the real- time location of the animal. A predefined geographical fence is set, and when the animal crosses this boundary, the system automatically detects the event. An Arduino microcontroller processes the location data and transmits the boundary-violation information to a receiver unit using a LoRa module for long-range, low- power communication. Upon detection of a geo- fence breach, an alert message containing location details is sent to conservation authorities through a GSM module, and a buzzer is activated for immediate local alert indication. This system enables accurate location tracking, timely detection of boundary violations, and efficient alert generation, providing a reliable and energy-efficient solution for wildlife conservation and management.
