The biodiversity of the planet is rapidly being depleted. Scientists' efforts to monitor and protect
biodiversity are being aided by a slew of new technologies and the volunteer work of ordinary
citizens.
To help scientists in their conservation work, new technologies have been developed. For example,
Footprint identification technique (FIT) uses photo digitization to identify the footprints of large
cats and other mammals, which will allow collection of data about these animals in a noninvasive
manner. Other noninvasive data collection techniques include vocalization identification, drones,
DNA analysis, and camera-trapping. Apps such as eBird and iNaturalist allow amateurs to record
their observations in open-access online databases for further analysis.
Smartphones and drones could be useful in collecting data to prevent poaching, although such
technologies are in their infancy and still not widely available in developing countries. Remote
sensing could be used to monitor changes in…
Why we need conservation of biodiversity in living world?
How can economic benefits of biodiversity be used as an argument to protect biodiversity?
