GPS collars for domestic dogs

What are your parameters? Do you need yes no movement, which could be collected with an accelerometer and no lat-long data?
Movement on an XY grid once an hour within a tightly bounded area?
High resolution once per second data? Large geographic area?
Different technologies deliver ddifferent datasets. Sometimes, significantly!

Hi Stephanie, at https://Savannahtracking.com we develop and manufacture a variety of collars with sizes ranging from about 95 grams for Raptors, 200grams - 1200g for mammals, and collars for large mammals such as Elephants. We currently have collars deployed on Dingoes which are about the same size as domestic dogs, and I believe that a similar solution will be perfect for your needs.
Our GPS collars can be programmed to collect high resolution data (15-minute gps positions) with hourly uploads via iridium satellite to our server where you can view and download the data from our dedicated windows or MAC SDM platforms. We also have a view only android/ios app. All our collars have two-way satellite communication, Internet based downloading via the free accompanying Savannah Tracking data manager software, automated Google Earth links for visualization, fully user definable geo fencing allowing for point, line and polygon fences and automated app and mail alarms in case of zone violation.
Kindly reach out to us and we can discuss a bespoke solution for your tracking needs at info@savannahtracking.com

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence to Reduce the Impact of Climate Change on Wildlife

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence to Reduce the Impact of Climate Change on Wildlife
AbstractCurrent anthropogenic climate change poses a significant threat to biodiversity, rapidly driving species towards extinction. Wildlife conservation relies on the speed and accuracy of processing environmental data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to assist wildlife conservation efforts. This thesis conducts a literature review to explore how artificial intelligence is being utilized to mitigate the impacts of climate change on wildlife. It examines the key applications of artificial intelligence, such as monitoring wildlife, predicting species distribution under climate effects, mitigation solutions, and poaching and trafficking detection. This literature review focuses on identifying the effective artificial intelligence models in current conservation practices, highlighting their capabilities, challenges, and limitations. The findings suggest that artificial intelligence can significantly enhance wildlife monitoring and conservation planning, as well as providing tools to predict environmental changes and plan mitigation strategies. However, certain challenges including technical limitations, ethical considerations, and data availability remain obstacles to utilizing the full potential of artificial intelligence in this field. Future research should focus on the development of unified species databases, identifying the most reliable models, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), and cost-effective solutions, while addressing ethical issues. This thesis concludes that artificial intelligence offers valuable opportunities for mitigating the impacts of climate change on wildlife with careful consideration of its limitations and ethical implications.

Hey Andrew, sad to hear funding has run out, but some very interesting developments!
It may be worth a conversation, I could definitely help on some of the above points from an electronics standpoint!

Really nice to see all that creative energy at work! Keep it up 👍🏻❤️
10 March 2025 3:45pm
@hikinghack that's a complete update!
A lot of compassion regarding the budget situation, especially knowing how great @briannaljohns is.
It’s great to see a clear plan for the hardware development! I hope you'll have nice outcomes from it!

Hi Sam, I did my master's on hatchling turtle vocalisations and their role in nest emergence behaviours (currently under review for publication). I recorded nest emergence behaviour in-situ using microphones and camera traps. I worked with snapping turtles, but the methods could be quite useful. I would be happy to share my thesis if that would be helpful.
there are a few sea turtle papers that describe hatchling vocalisations but not many experiments testing hypotheses for these vocalisations.
here are some papers that could help you get you started:
Shoot me a message if interested in chatting more :)

Hello Sam ...great work, would like to see the paper when it comes online. I would like to know about the device....Bests Zahir

Hi Doug.
We are located in Melbourne and work with Bush Heritage in large reserve monitoring. Would love to chat and hear more about the issues you are having to see if we can help out with it. Let me know via private message and we can set up a meeting.

I will be back in Melbourne Thursday.
I would like to send you the Florer and Forner study done in 2010 to bring you up to speed.
I'm new to this and can't find the attachment key.
Can you send an email address?

I have now built my fox and cat trap.
I want to triger it by face reconition so not to get possums or goanners.
Can you help ?

Hi everyone, I’m excited to become a member of Wild Lab! I’m currently working on my master’s thesis, focusing on dormouse conservation. My research explores the behavioral responses of dormice to temperature and habitat patterns using camera trap data.
Additionally, I’d like to incorporate agent-based modeling to simulate species behavior. However, I’m a bit unsure about how to effectively apply modeling for predictions. If anyone here has experience with modeling, I’d love to connect and discuss!
Looking forward to learning from you all.
Best regards,
