EasyChair Preprint no. 12729

Abstract

For many days we are reading in newspaper about smuggling of trees like Sandal, Sagwan etc.
These trees are very costly as well as less available in the world. In India The jungles of Karnataka
and Tamilnadu, the notorious smuggler “Virrappan did the smuggling of such trees for many years.
To restrict such smuggling of and save the forests around the globe some preventive measures need
to be developed.\\ Because of huge amount of money involved in selling of such trees lot of incidents
are happening of cutting of trees. In this context we are supposed to provide a protection to the
trees which can be used to restrict this smuggling. Sandalwood, sagwan trees are smuggling by the
thieves in the present days. These trees are rarely available and more cost also. There are many
uses of sandal wood trees such as we can utilize in skincare products and Ayurvedic medicine. \\The
primary goal of this paper is to design a framework or system which will be utilized to restrict
the sneaking of sandal wood trees. A system can be developed using a gyro sensor(to detect the
inclination of the tree which are being cut), thermistor sensor(NTC10k),esp8266 device(Wi-Fi
device) and GSM Module, to restrict smuggling and to track the trees much easy. These sensors
data will consistently check with the Thing speak cloud platform. The obtained data is stored in
Thing speak Server with using of the esp8266 module. Forest officials get alert when any event
occurs so that appropriate operation will be taken.
