The Animal Tracking Network

The Animal Tracking Network is a collaborative system that uses technology like GPS and radio signals to monitor the movements of wildlife. Researchers attach tracking devices to animals, allowing them to gather data on migration patterns, habitat use, and behavior. This information helps scientists and conservationists understand species' needs, monitor populations, and implement strategies to protect endangered animals. The network often involves multiple organizations sharing data to build a comprehensive picture of animal movements across large areas, ultimately supporting effective wildlife management and conservation efforts.
