Giant pandas in China reserve get Wi-Fi
That is a nice story that shows how technology can help an endangered species.
Intel installed Wireless Technology in a mountainous 500,000-acre reserve of Wolong. This will help researchers to communicate with one another. The great thing is that they can download and record data about the pandas' lives and movements - simple activities that were cumbersome and time-consuming in the preserve before the technology upgrade, and probably also speed up the process. Speed is important in protecting an endangered species - just like it is important in the business world (hm- we always have to draw parallels) About 300 giant pandas live in the mentioned Wolong Nature Reserve - half in captivity and half in the wild. Only about 1,500 of the animals are left in the world.
Before it thought that WiFi is more suitable for smaller and populated areas so the geographic extend can be a challenge - but a challenge is always something to learn from.
