Abstract
In response to the increasing environmental threats, ForeScanGuard emerges as a vital forest monitoring system. Integrating advanced sensors and a proactive anomaly detection algorithm, it employs a 5-channel fire sensor for early fire detection, ultrasonic and vibration sensors for identifying tree cutting activities, and a BMP120 sensor to confirm tree falls. GPS modules attached to trees allow real-time location tracking, transmitted via Wi-Fi to a cloud server. The ForeScanGuard Algorithm analyzes sensor data for anomalies like fire outbreaks, illegal logging, and tree falls. Its proactive alerts facilitate rapid responses from forest officials, ensuring effective forest management. ForeScanGuard, with multiple sensors and cloud-based analytics, represents a significant advancement in smart forest monitoring, promoting conservation efforts through real-time anomaly detection and informed decision-making. This comprehensive solution enhances ecosystem protection, fostering a sustainable and proactive approach to forest conservation.
