Dr Rory Wilson gave a very good talk to the Environment Society of Oman about animal tracking. His has developed a device, with the support of the ‘Rolex Awards for Enterprise’, to track the movement of animals. Rory calls the results a ‘daily diary because, by extrapolating the information which includes 3 dimensional movement sensors and time a scientist can surmise the events of a selected animal’s day – its daily diary.

Why was he in Oman? Well last January in Oman he did a small test on an individual Arabian Leopard . It is hoped that, by using this tracking device on Leopard in the wild, more information about the Leopard in Oman will be obtain and – its future made more secure using extensive information rather than limited information and speculation.
