Abstract

The use of satellite telemetry was introduced to monitor the movements of Asian elephants in Taman Negara Terengganu. The method was found to give more reliable result on the elephant movements compared to ground transmitter. Quality signals were obtained normally when the animal was in open areas like forest fringes, plantation, rivers, and large water bodies. However, the quality of signals transmitted was found to deteriorate towards the end of the study period. Despite the above, this method would enable researchers to study the movements of translocated elephants in tropical forest.
