Modern technologies are introduced in forests of Armenia to detect  cases of illegal logging

ArmInfo.Modern technologies will be used in the forests of Armenia to detect cases of illegal logging.

According to the Ministry of the Environment, 10 sensory monitoring  devices have been installed on illegal logging in the territories of  Stepanavan Forestry.

<The equipment in a few seconds picks up sounds of an ax, chainsaw,  fire or any other movements and sends GSM signals to a server, where  a specially developed program delimits their character and transfers  the coordinates to the systems registered in the network to  telephones and computers that protect the forest>,  explained in  ministry.

Depending on the landscape of the forest, devices can protect  territories with a radius of 2 to 10 km. The program is pilot, and  after successful testing and filling in the gaps will be expanded.   The manufacture and maintenance of the aforementioned devices called  Forest guard was provided by Hi- Tech Gateway Vanadzor Branch.
