Reindeer, who fall prey to wolverines, wolves and lynx, are being fitted with sensors to protect them.<\/p>\n
It makes it easier for herders to track the animals across the remote Lapland forests where they roam.<\/p>\n
Sensors around the necks of the female reindeer are linked to the herders’ smartphones, allowing them to rescue hurt animals more quickly and identify the cause of death for those killed.<\/p>\n
Next year the team behind the system also plan to track the predators.<\/p>\n
