Sensors and Artificial Intelligence for Wildlife Conservation (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue on the use of Sensors and Artificial Intelligence in Wildlife Conservation. We are soliciting submissions for both review and original research articles related to the novel use of data obtained from sensors (camera traps, cameras, microphones, unoccupied vehicles (aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic)) and any other sensor platforms you think would support wildlife conservation) combined with AI, to manage and protect wildlife globally. The Special Issue is open to contributions ranging from systems that combat poaching and protect wildlife, support wildlife management and conservation, enable animal counting and tracking, monitor and protect the environment, support biodiversity assessments, monitor forest health and quality, as well as novel approaches to sensor fusion for remote sensing. Original contributions that look at integrated sensor-based technologies and wide-area communications across remote sensing platforms (land, sea, airborne and spaceborne) are also encouraged.

For your reference, you may refer to publications in Volume I of this Special Issue series.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
