They move to find shelter and to mate. These things are all affected by the reduction in movements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">The one or two-year impact might be a decline in procreation and population. Over time, though, the consequences could be devastating to entire ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">One point made is that only 20 years ago, the elk population was nearly 90 percent migratory and counted above 2,000.

The elk are sources of food for grizzlies and wolves. Their populations are now in a state of decline due to an absence of food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">GPS has been instrumental in helping to identify the changing migratory patterns of these animals as they relate to the ever-expanding presence of human in their territories. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">This is only one example of how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/all+gps+tracking+products.html\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #1155cc;\">GPS tracking technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\"> can be used to fuel research, aid in conservation efforts, and get the conversation started about the impact a constantly expanding human presence is having on nature \u2013 specifically when it comes to supply and demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">GPS has also been used to help reintroduce animals to the wild after spending time under the care of humans, to gather data about animal populations, to provide insight into how animals make decisions about migration, mating, etc. and to make important conservation decisions designed to help threatened and\/or endangered species thrive once again. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Irish Examiner, animals, such as the fox, hare, and red deer are suffering as a result of a landscape dominated by humans.
