SUMMARY:

The world is undergoing climate changes that were predicted decades ago, stemming from the uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, with processes that degraded fauna and flora, often in areas of high biodiversity. The lack of environmental conservation and awareness of the impacts of these exploitations on life preservation on Earth has led to the environmental disasters and crises we witness today. The environment serves as a natural absorber of greenhouse gases and supports ecological balance. Without preserving these biodiversity-rich environments, which act as natural regulators of environmental balance, the conservation of life becomes unsustainable alongside high pollutant emissions and population growth. Natural reserves are being consumed unsustainably, leading humanity into a difficult situation regarding the maintenance of life itself.

In this work, a radio telemetry application was developed to reduce costs and assist researchers, biologists, and wildlife conservation foundations in tracking wild animals that are critical to environmental control and balance but are at risk of extinction. This solution integrates both hardware and software, using a geolocator (GPS), sensors (temperature, immersion), data storage (in both the tracker and receiver), and LoRa radio protocol communication to locate and download data collected and stored by the tracker. The application aims to provide a means for wildlife research and conservation, feeding Brazilian environmental foundations and research with a lower cost in the import of goods and services.
