Testing Time

Say hi to my friendly volunteer who is testing the collar for me.

The prototype is constructed and ready to go, I'm still working out some of the programming but figured we'd give it a quick go on an actual dog.

Bellow are pictures of the components and how they look on a dog. 

The whole process was quite complicated to learn from scratch but should be easy enough to repeat. 

It does look like it will be tricky to reach the target in the remaining few days so I may post another note with further steps we will be taking and a git hub repository where I will leave instructions to build the collars yourself.

About This Project

The Ethiopian Wolf is the most endangered canid in the world and the most endangered carnivore in Africa. Less than 500 remain with none in captivity. They are primarily threatened by diseases spread from domestic dogs. We will collect data on the movement of dogs, combine it with data from Ethiopian Wolves and viruses to use cutting edge simulation modelling to trial various conservation strategies with the aim of producing a management plan.
