A habitat monitoring device is a tool to collect data from different ecosystems! In this lesson, we’ll explore different types of ecosystems in North Carolina and understand how ecologists use data collected by habitat monitoring devices.
Next, we’ll build our own habitat monitoring device.
You’ll then customize your device with more sensors and add features to make it easier to use or collect data.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The SDGs are 17 goals created by the United Nations to make the world a better place.
As you complete the lesson, consider how habitat monitoring devices:
- Help ecologists protect biodiversity conservation in habitats
- Restore and promote sustainable use of land-based ecosystems
- Fight climate change
