FROG PHONE
Frog phone:- Is a device that allows scientists and researchers to monitor frogs in the wild.
• Described as the world’s first solar-powered remote survey device that can be installed at any frog pond and which receives a 3G or 4G cellular network, it has been named “FrogPhone”.
• With FrogPhone, researchers can simply “call” a frog habitat.
• After a call is made to one of the FrogPhones already on a site, the device will take three seconds to receive it.
• During these few seconds, the device’s temperature sensors will get activated.
■ Significance:---GPS based tracking of frogs will reduce costs and risks, including the negative impact of human presence on the field site.
• These devices also allow for monitoring of local frog populations more frequently than before, which is important because these populations are recognised as indicators of environmental health.
