Topics: Enhancing Satellite Technology to Protect Endangered Species in Vietnam

Objective: To brainstorm ideas and establish strategies for implementing satellite technology to protect a selected endangered species in Vietnam.

Duration: Approximately 35 minutes

1. Team Formation:

Divide the participants into teams of 3-4 people each.

Dicussion in breakout room

2. Selecting an Endangered Species:

Select one endangered species found in Vietnam.

3. Brainstorming Ideas (20 minutes):

Brainstorm ideas on how satellite technology can be enhanced/customized to protect their selected endangered species( can be various aspects such as monitoring, tracking, habitat protection, or mitigating threats ) in order to be suitable to Vietnam conditions and using resources effectively

4. Present the idea of each team: 15 mins

Vietnam Elephant
"Dak Lak used to be the kingdom of elephants in Vietnam.

In the period 1980s, the province had more than 500 elephants. But now only 140 are left."

VnExpress - New project a lifeline for Vietnam's endangered elephants - 3/1/2023

Idea:
- Mapping and create buffer zone near village to avoid elephant enter human living space by data from elephant tracking.
- Implant tracking device sync with argos system on elephant to secure their inhabitat environment and herd size
- Organize specialist central department for elephant reserving such as observe their population, improve living condition, rescue,...
- Predict movement behavior of elephant herd for keeping their natural environment

Corbett Tiger
The Indochinese tiger is a population of the Panthera tigris tigris subspecies that is native to Southeast Asia.[1]This population occurs in Myanmar, Thailand and Laos. In 2011, the population was thought to comprise 342 individuals, including 85 in Myanmar and 20 in Vietnam, with the largest population unit surviving in Thailand, estimated at 189 to 252 individuals during the period 2009 to 2014

Idea:
Transplant tracking and mapping device to collect data via GPS to generate distribution map

How:
Anaesthetize the tiger and transplant sensors system that include GPS and motion tracking
Using high-res camera system on satellite for monitoring and also early warning of poaching.

Delacour's langur

WHAT:
A type of leaf-eating langur that has an unusually long and bushy tail with white hips. It is also one of the most endangered primates in the world. Only about 300 Delacour's langurs are alive today, and experts fear they could be completely extinct by 2014 if the current rate of decline continues. The monkeys are being pushed to the brink by hunting for the Chinese traditional medicine trade. Hunting has forced the animal into a few extreme strongholds, where steep limestone cliffs grant a little protection from poachers.

HOW:
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)
(*) Argos System :

Use satellite imagery to identify species' habitats.

Tracking the changes to the habitat to help better organize the preservation of the species with habitat suitability modeling

Keep track of local human habitant to help isolate the human influence on the habitat (hunter tracking, ...)

Microchip + satellite tracking to more detail tracking for separate individual
