GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.

Remote trap sensing communications

Hi Mark,
This is very interesting. HF transmitters can be very simple and low power, but I would be concerned about their long fragile antennas. I'd contact a local ham club with old people who still do CW over QRP.
You could also look into sigfox. It may be possible to convince the nature reserve or park to install a sigfox network specifically for their own use. But I don't know how much it would cost.
Thanks,
-harold

Can also recommend looking into Argos: https://www.cls-telemetry.com/argos-solutions/argos-services/
The transmitter can send a few messages per day and the messages are received by Argos satellites. To prolong your battery life, I'd recommend looking into adding a solar panel to your system.

I think it looks like a really interesting technology, but it's still in the realm of research and academia. They're correct in that it demonstrates device miniaturization and they look like they're pushing the boundaries of printed circuit board sizes. Also the point of these devices seems to be to demonstrate that it's possible to make electronics capable of unpowered flight.
On the practical side, I'd say the devices are more of a proof of concept. The electronics in a system can usually be made very light, but all your weight and size will come in the batteries and then the enclosure. You can achieve something very similar by using a technology called flex/rigid PCBs which are already commercially available and can be custom ordered online. These are commercially fabricated circuit boards, typically used in mobile phones, that have a rigid part where the ICs would be mounted and a flexible part for interconnect, wiring, or mounting discrete components like resistors and capacitors. You'd be able to make these very light since they use a very thin polyimide (high temperature plastic) substrate and you can fabricate in the same winged form factor as what the researchers used. It'd be interesting to see if they make the mechanical files available to others.

Hi,
Let me know if you want any help with solar application for this. I use small remote cameras in the field with 18650 batteries from used laptops and solar cells. The solar panels are pretty cheap, about $15 ordered from amazon. And the charge controllers are about $3 each. The solar setups work well on a mesh setup that I have here but I think as suggested that lora might be the best way to go.
