| Popis: | The forest ecosystem is essential for supplying natural resources to the flora and fauna. The forest is an irreplaceable sanctuary, although currently it is exposed to illegal logging by greedy human beings, and this has significantly affected the forest. As a result of this illegal activity, unhealthy phenomenon has surfaced. Hence, the methodology of this research is concerned about developing a remote monitoring device that could capture critical real-time data, such as temperature, humidity, gaseous content, and fire and rain detection, which could indicate the current and the preserved natural state and habitat in the forest. The prototype was implemented at selected locations in the Royal Belum Forest to monitor and gather data at two phases. The outcomes from this research will be used in the development of a series of games as teaching aids that can make aware our future generation about the depletion of the rainforest and its impact upon the environment. |
