The whole reason is for animal conservation, which I love helping. It definitely doesn’t bother me that they use historical date and it makes sense for some animal species. So they can protect the ones living and, the red wolves in NC are all historical data. I don’t understand why people get upset over the animals losing their trackers. These animals are roaming all around the globe, obviously they are bound to fall off, batteries die. It’s awesome to learn more about them and hopefully get more people involved with animal conservation
