landslides  and  unprecedented  warmer  temperature  raised  concerns  and  drove  actions 
towards  preventing  the  occurrence  of  such  events.  Biodiversity  monitoring  is  one  of 
the alternative solutions which is a long term effort that provide useful information to 
allow  early  prevention  of  unfortunate  events  as  a  result  of    illegal  logging  activities, 
deforestation,  forest  fire  etc.  The  existing  biodiversity  monitoring  are  manually 
conducted  which  rely  on  human  resource  and  as  such  introduced  several  challenges 
and  limitations.  Therefore,  the  development  of  an  efficient,  real-time  biodiversity 
monitoring  system  is  needed.  This  paper  discussed  the  challenges  and  successful 
implementation   of   wireless   biodiversity   monitoring   system   which   encompasses 
knowledge and expertise from multi-disciplinary field such as environmental, biology, 
electronics and network engineering. This paper also provided information on sensors 
and wireless networks utilized in this monitoring system. With the availability of this 
biodiversity monitoring system, the status of the forest health can be identified on real-
time  basis  hence  early  precaution  and  prevention  can  be  undertaken  to  prevent  the 
catastrophic events. 10abioacoustics10aforest health10ainternet of things10aweather monitoring10aWSN1 aAzmi, N.1 aRazali, M.H.1 aKamaruddin, L.M.1 aHarun, A.1 aRahim, N.A.1 aZakaria, A.1 aShakaff, A.Y.M.  uhttps://bio.acousti.ca/pt-pt/node/47719
