Frequently asked questions
Why are wild animals tracked?
Wild animals are tracked for various reasons. On the one hand, this serves to protect endangered and threatened animals. By tracking them, scientists can better understand their behavior, migration and ecology in order to take appropriate conservation measures and preserve their habitats.
How are wild animals tracked?
Wild animals are tracked in various ways. One common method is satellite tracking, in which satellite transmitters are attached to the animals. The transmitters send signals to satellites in orbit, which are then relayed to receivers on earth. This allows scientists to track the movements and location of the animals in real time.
Does it hurt the animals?
As a rule, most tracking methods do not cause any pain or discomfort to the animals. The satellite transmitters that are attached to them are designed in such a way that they automatically drop off after a while. The acoustic methods also cause no pain, as the microphones only pick up the animals' natural sounds. They are not directly touched or disturbed during photo-identification.
