Daily News : GPS Devices

Scientists in Florida are using GPS collars to track where bears migrate within the state. This lets them observe which habitats need to be protected. In recent times some bears haven't been crossing into other bear populations, which has resulted in inbreeding and less healthy genes being passed around.

Researchers want to know whether the bears' travels have them crossing a road, an orange grove, or somewhere else in order to get from place to place. Collecting data on the corridors the bears need to travel will help in pinpointing what land should be sought for conservation purposes.
