Description

Ecology type artificial island for otter, including otter behavior observation system

The present invention relates to an artificial otter ecological island including an otter behavior observation system, and more specifically, a natural and stable resting environment that is installed with natural materials on the surface of a reservoir or dam so that otters do not have a feeling of inhabiting and rest activities. It provides an otter man-made ecological island that includes an otter behavior observation system that can easily grasp the otter's ecology and life habits by allowing real-time observation of the otter's resting activity in a remote location.

Waterfronts such as rivers, rivers, and valleys maintain a complex waterside ecosystem with various creatures mingled with them. However, with the recent rapid progress of urbanization and industrialization, dams have been installed in rivers across the country to secure power, industrial water, and household water. It's going on.

However, by constructing a dam as described above, it is possible to secure the necessary power and water, while the natural ecosystem environment is destroyed by the construction of such a dam, so that habitats and resting places for underwater and waterside organisms are subject to many ecological restrictions. .

For example, otters, a natural monument, can stably inhabit rivers or rivers where the natural environment is well preserved and abundant fish species live. Due to such reckless development and damage to the ecosystem, otters of the habit of using existing habitats, such as under tree roots or between rock cracks, are gradually losing their habitat without following the house.

Recently, the number of otters inhabiting the surrounding area is gradually decreasing due to the destruction of habitats after the construction of dams.

In addition, when otters inhabiting reservoirs and dams cross the water body or feed in the water body, there are often cases where living things die due to lack of a resting place to rest in the middle. As described above, the habitats and resting places for otters inhabiting rivers and rivers have disappeared and the surrounding ecosystem is being destroyed, and a lot of efforts are required to restore them.

Meanwhile, in order to manage the otter's habitat and establish a plan for the restoration of the otter's species, otters are monitored for a long period of time to conduct research on the otter's habitat type, habitat conditions, and activity status. Distributed installation is performed using a monitoring method based on the captured image.

More specifically, the captured images stored in the memory of unmanned cameras installed in otter habitats across the country are collected, and researchers directly check them, and information on the habitat type, habitat conditions, and activity status of the otters are manually entered into a computer. Monitoring data is recorded in a way.

However, the conventional monitoring method is a problem that efficient monitoring cannot be achieved because researchers (administrators) have to check a vast amount of images, ranging from tens/hundreds of gigabytes or tens/millions of images collected from cameras distributed across the nation's otter habitats. There is.
