There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It is easily possible for a poacher (or a hacker hired by poacher) to break into the private information like email accounts of scientist that receive data from the GPS collars that wildlife conservationists attach to endangered species like tiger. Biologists and conservationist use these collars to study the behaviors and monitor the locations of such animals. So if the poachers get access of that information, they can monitor the migration patterns or in certain cases the real time locations of the tagged animals in order to track and ultimately kill them.

 

wow! never realised such methods could be employed by poachers, thanks for starting this thread Sanjay & bringing it to attention of others as well.

I think bribing is also involved here, since to poach an animal they will need access to & most if not all of the forests in India are reserved & supposed to be "protected".

One thing comes to my mind after reading such stories is the incident of Bandhavgarh tiger "Kallu" the most popular & photographed tiger at that time & what happened one fine day? Kallu disappeared without a trace. I always thought poor Kallu was a victim of  his success. [img]images/smilies/undecided.gif[/img]
