Wildlife Dept goes hi-tech to detect illegal activities
The Wildlife Conservation Department introduced a Protected Area
Habitat Health Management System which involves organized periodical
patrolling system with new technologies such as Remote Sensing,
Geo-Informatics (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT) to detect illegal activities in
jungles.
The Department trained its first batch of specially trained wildlife
patrolling group from December 11 to 14 with a real life practical
component including three days patrol operation.
The trainees were equipped with knowledge in satellite based remote
sensing, geo-informatics for law enforcement, global positioning system
(GPS) and navigation and use of VHF radio systems in law enforcement.
The e-law enforcement facilitation and intelligence management system
which is in the process of development was used at its rudimentary
stage. It was able to pinpoint the locations of illegal activities. |
