Animal Internet: Nature and the Digital Revolution

Some fifty thousand creatures around the globe are being equipped with digital tracking devices. The data gathered and studied by major scientific institutes about their behaviour will warn us about tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but also radically transform our relationship to the natural world. Will millennia of exploration soon be reduced to experiencing wilderness via smartphone? Contrary to pessimistic fears, author Alexander Pschera sees the Internet as creating a historic opportunity for a new dialogue between man and nature.— Google Books
