New collar sensor could reveal how wildfire smoke affects wildlife
Wildfire smoke poses a severe threat to animals in remote areas who lack indoor shelter. Researchers are developing a new collar sensor designed to track and measure the health impacts of smoke exposure on wildlife. This innovative technology aims to fill a major knowledge gap in environmental science and animal health. By monitoring physiological responses, conservationists can better understand and mitigate the dangers of escalating wildfire seasons.
