Terra Sense
A new take on wildlife tracking reducing impact and increasing insight
A new take on wildlife tracking
At Terrasense, we prioritise the well-being of wildlife by offering innovative tracking solutions. We build our tech around the animals and their environments.
Our technology empowers conservationists with greater insight with less impact on the animals.
At Terrasense we differ from current solutions by dramatically increasing the amount of data points every day, yet we reduce the draw on the battery.
This delivers higher data resolution, insights and longer lasting tags.
Our solution will...
Significantly Reduce Costs While Expanding Capabilities
Our solution will significantly reduce costs which will in turn allow for a major increase in the number of animals being tracked within certain areas.
Produce higher resolution tracking, enabling greater insights
-
Enable insight to animal behaviours
-
Allow visual data on home ranges to enable support of releases and protecting habitats
-
Our solution will significantly reduce costs allowing for more tags to track more animals for the same budget, both in the wild and in rehab.
Reduce impact on the animals
Our tech is small and lightweight and designed with the animal as the starting point leading to:
-
A more natural aesthetic meaning the tag fits the animal, their needs and their behaviours
-
Light weight solutions - 100 grams or less for Pangolins for example
-
Innovative fixing and release systems for tags, not only for fitting, but to enable release if attacked by predators
-
Our battery-assist solution can allow for monitoring of smaller species.
Enhance data, increase insights and research
Our technology will provide:
-
Quality and quantity of data available to researchers and conservationists
-
A powerful tool for developing deeper understandings of endangered animals and their behaviours
-
Tracking of an animal within 30cm of their location
-
Future deployments will help enable tracking of migrating or transient species across wide networks of our mesh networks.
We have already tested our smallest mesh network to cover over 450,000 hectares without GPS requirement.
