¶ BaboonEdge
The BaboonEdge device is currently in the first stage of Research & Development.
¶ Background
Tracking collars are currently the best practice for understanding animal movement and have provided insights into the resources required for the survival of Baboons in the wild.
Smart Parks has been asked by a conservation organisation to see if we can develop a reliable Baboon tracker that can be used in combination with a CMDQ device.
