A total of 24 of the planned 30 telemetry collars are already running in the field in the Czech and Saxon Switzerland national parks. Experts from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague and the Technical University in Dresden have been busy in recent months. Their task was to put European red deer to sleep and fit ear tags and telemetry collars to track their movements. However, modern technologies allow us to monitor the specific activities of deer thanks to accelerometers and magnetometers, sensors that tell us which direction the individual is going or how high his head is. The data from the collars therefore no longer show us just austere points on the map in the set data frequency, but the specific trajectory of the given individual's movement. What happens when a collared deer is approached by a collared wolf? Did the movement habits of red deer change with the return of wolves? Do the movement activities of red deer change during the day or season? We will try to find answers to all this questions within the REDEMA project.
