Abstract

Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs) have been employed in modern warfare for monitoring and reconnaissance to produce a healthy living environment for wildlife through multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). FANETs allow multiple UAVs to communicate in 3D space to establish an ad-hoc network. FANETs applications, among others, can deliver costeffective services to help future wildlife. However, adopting FANET's technology in wildlife monitoring is difficult due to its challenges in mobility, data routing, energy, and security considerations. Therefore, this paper aims to look at FANET's possible applications in wildlife Monitoring and the implications and issues that come with them.

Keywords
