GPS Elephant collars are generally used for observing the behavioral patterns of herds of elephants. Elephant collars are usually set around the neck of a young female elephant by wild life officers because She is not left along by the other members of the herd as a habit. The battery life of this device will last long for about four years. GPS data are taken by the satellites and transmitted to the observation centers of the wild life doctors to monitor the behaviors of the elephants.
Even the tuskers are also worn with the collars to protect them as there is a great life threat for them. If the GPS collar doesn’t indicate any movements to the observation center, it is believed either GPS collar is detached from the elephant or the elephant is injured so that it may not be moving here and there or dead either. When there is no proper reactions from the device, wild life doctors will promptly take actions to detect the reason for why its not working. Then they take necessary steps to take actions to treat the injured elephant in the herd. If the collar is detached, it will also be reset to another active elephant to continue with monitoring. GPS monitoring will also be very useful to determine the boundaries of the areas before fixing the new electric fences for the protection of the elephants.
