The sound maps that predict poachers' movements
Digital monitoring tools are helping rangers protect
wildlife in South America's Atlantic Forest. Could sound-based maps pin down
the poaching threat?
In the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest lies the world-renowned
Iguazu Falls. On one side of the towering cascades is the Iguazú National Park
of Argentina, on the other is the Iguaçu National Park of Brazil. Greened by
over 2,000 plant species, the landscape is home to an array of creatures,
including the charismatic jaguar. And to the million-plus tourists who visit
each year, the region may appear to be part of a vast expanse of thriving biodiversity.
