Abstract
Wildlife tracking plays a crucial role in understanding animal behaviour, migration patterns, and conservation efforts. Traditional tracking methods, such as GPS collars and radio telemetry, have limitations, including battery constraints, signal interference, and invasiveness. Bioluminescence-inspired tracking, utilizing luminescent materials, presents an innovative and less intrusive alternative. This paper explores the principles of bioluminescence, the development of luminescent materials, and their potential applications in wildlife conservation. The integration of bioluminescent markers in tracking could revolutionize realtime monitoring while minimizing ecological disturbance.
