Tracking Asian Elephants with Satellite Collars
Description
Aug. 12, 2016—Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute ecologist Melissa Songer studies Asian elephants and tracks them with satellite collars. The collars help scientists mitigate poaching and human-elephant conflict. For every $4,000 raised through Conservation Nation, she and her colleagues can buy a satellite collar to track a wild Asian elephant.
