eDNA monitoring; 'telehealth' for animals; and using animals as early warning system for disasters

Scientists have perfected a system for better sampling animal DNA in the wild. The new process promises a less-invasive way of measuring biodiversity.

We also look at the predictive powers of animals and how tracking their movements enmass could help foretell impending disasters.

And how remote health monitoring technology can help wildlife and livestock.
