Scientists think that animals can warn us of upcoming natural
disasters.
Many animals can hear, see and smell better than humans.
Herd animals may become agitated or act differently many hours
before a natural disaster.
To understand this behavior, scientists attach transmitters to animals.
The sensors send information in real time,
and the data is analyzed using AI.
But this collaborative international research project has been discontinued since
Russia's invasion an ongoing war in Ukraine.
Researchers plan to relaunch the program and another new animal
monitoring satellite later this year.
Monitoring animals can provide weather data along their migration routes.
It also provides information on biodiversity and how these animals
are adapting to climate change.
