Implementation of IoT based Anti-Smuggling System for Trees in Forest

Our life is dependent upon trees. There is a long association of man and trees. Since the hoary past man and trees have been the two major creations of Nature. In his prehistoric days man turned to trees and plants to collect the things vitally necessary for his existence. Since that time man and trees have been interdependent, though man is more indebted to trees. Amongst the variety of flora available on the planet, “Sandalwood� are one of the most costly as well as less available trees. They are useful in medical sciences and cosmetics. From the past few years, we are finding that the newspapers and news channels are frequently filled with news regarding the smuggling activities. Since they are costly, smugglers allegedly cut down many of these trees and transport them to their factories for commercial purposes. Anti-smuggling system is a measure that has been taken to and cause substantial damage to natural and human resources. The main causes of forest re are extreme heat generated by collision of trees, lightning and some human uncontrolled behavior. The main objective of this project is to develop a system which can be used to restrict smuggling of sandalwood trees and stop these smuggling activities using GSM module and sensors.
