Big Data Concept

  Introduction Wildlife conservation faces unprecedented challenges due to habitat loss, climate change, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. To address these issues, conservationists are turning to big data, which offers powerful tools to monitor biodiversity and habitats with precision and scale. By integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices and geospatial data, big data enables real-time tracking, predictive modeling, and informed decision-making to protect endangered species and ecosystems. This chapter explores how big data, IoT, and geospatial technologies are transforming wildlife conservation, highlighting their applications, real-world examples, challenges, and future potential. The Role of Big Data in Wildlife Conservation Understanding Big Data in the Conservation Context Big data in wildlife conservation refers to large, complex datasets generated from diverse sources, including: IoT Data : Sensors, camera traps, and bioacoustic devices collecting real-time data ...
