Indian forests hold over half the world's tiger population. The forest rangers find it very hard to track the tigers. The combination of Wireless technology, Adhoc Networks and GIS can be helpful in this aspect. We propose a system that uses a combination of Adhoc network, GPS & GIS technologies to help the forest rangers in tracking & identification of the tigers. The primary focus is on the advantages that Adhoc Networks offer. The Communication between the animal's device and the user can be via GSM cellular network which allows real-time tracking. The communication in forest like remote areas can be established using Ad-hoc networks.
