Herd Tracking

Reducing intensity

The significant environmental harm of high-density animal grazing has left a serious impression on the landscape. Unless remediated, this can result in reduced habitat availability and ecosystem service provisioning.

In the past, managers had a tendency to over-graze their property in order to maximize harvest yields, to the detriment of the long-term health of regional plants.

At the same time, native animal herds from caribou to bison are actively being re-introduced.

Maintaining connection

The use of Long Range radio stations for animal monitoring is being evaluated to provide information about the real-time distribution of animals herds. This technology is a low-maintenance, and innovative approach to cover very large areas with digital connectivity. By helping managers to monitor general behaviours as well as be notified about important developments in real time, the system is helping to create value.
