Copernicus provides a wide range of products and services for tracking applicaitons. Among our products are battery- and solar-powered tags and collars for carnivore tracking
At Copernicus Technologies, we’re advancing wildlife monitoring solutions by combining cutting-edge tracking technologies with comprehensive data management. Our GPS collars and lightweight Ear Tags are designed to provide precise, real-time insights into the movement and behavior of large carnivores. Supported by our Wonderland platform, these innovations help researchers and conservationists promote sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife in shared landscapes.

Camera traps have long been essential for wildlife monitoring, capturing images of animal presence, activity, and behavior. By detecting motion, they provide insights into species distribution, population densities, and nocturnal habits that are difficult to observe in person. Camera traps excel at documenting inter- and intra-specific behaviors in known habitats and identifying individual animals.
However, their static nature limits their effectiveness in capturing continuous movement or studying the broader territorial ranges of large, highly mobile species. This is especially critical when studying large carnivores, whose vast territories and complex behaviors demand more dynamic monitoring solutions.
This is where Copernicus Technologies’ advanced GPS collars provide a powerful enhancement to traditional methods. Unlike camera traps, which are stationary, GPS collars continuously track animals in real time, capturing their full movement patterns across large territories. This dynamic tracking allows researchers to collect precise data on daily travel paths, hunting grounds, rest sites, and interactions with other species—insights that are crucial to understanding the spatial behaviour and ecology of large carnivores.
GPS collars also allow researchers to study behavioural responses over time, identifying patterns that evolve with changes in the environment, prey availability, and human activity. With the ability to remotely adjust tracking frequencies and settings, researchers have the flexibility to adapt their studies based on specific goals, whether monitoring seasonal migration or analysing predator-prey dynamics.

While GPS collars are ideal for large carnivores, our lightweight Ear Tags offer a versatile solution for smaller animals, including prey species and young carnivores. Designed to minimize impact on the animal, these tags provide reliable location data over extended periods. Ear Tags are particularly valuable for multi-species studies, helping researchers understand predator-prey dynamics and movement synchronization across species.
Both our GPS collars and Ear Tags integrate seamlessly with Wonderland, a powerful data platform that allows researchers to visualize, analyze, and manage tracking data. Through Wonderland, users can view real-time movements, identify long-term trends, and extract actionable insights for conservation planning. The platform’s intuitive interface ensures that even complex datasets are accessible and easy to interpret.
Using our tracking platform Wonderland you have all the information and control over your tracking devices at your fingertips. Wonderland not only supports our own range of thracking devices, but is also compatible with many other hardware manufacturers.
At Copernicus Technologies, we are committed to equipping researchers and conservationists with innovative tools that enhance the understanding and protection of large carnivores. By combining durability, precision, and adaptability, our GPS collars and Ear Tags offer reliable solutions for tracking and studying wildlife in diverse environments.
Large carnivores play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance, and understanding their behavior is key to ensuring their conservation. With technology designed to minimize wildlife impact and maximize data accuracy, Copernicus Technologies is helping transform wildlife tracking and conservation efforts.
