The Newton Project has launched a new blockchain-based initiative to curb illegal animal poaching and safeguard endangered animals around the world.

As per Crypto Briefing website, the project has released its plans to implement a network of sensors and drones to track endangered animals. The new monitoring system is claimed to be more efficient than current systems.

The firm’s NewSensor technology is said to have IoT devices that will monitor location, temperature, humidity, etc. These data will then uploaded to NewChain, Newton’s blockchain. NewSensors can be implanted under the skin of an endangered animal to track its location and other parameters.

Furthermore, Newton’s NewDrones is another gadget with built-in cameras and microphones that are intended to track and identify poachers. The footage obtained by the drones will be uploaded to the NewChain to have a record of potential poaching. Later, NewAI will be utilized to analyze this data and study suspicious activities.
