GPS collars for elephants have proved to be helpful by enabling officials to know when the animals wander out of national parks and into inhabited areas,” said a senior National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation Department official today.

 

Supagit Vinitpornsawan explained that many people mistakenly believe the collars prevent elephants from leaving their habitats and entering agricultural areas to eat crops, but they only provide location monitoring.

 

The program to fit jumbos with GPS collars began in 2018, raising expectations that the technology would help prevent the animals from leaving the national parks.
