BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information
provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any
publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Survival of humans and other living beings depends essentially on forests and
trees. Humans and other living beings depend on trees for shelter, livelihoods, water, food,
and fuel security. Humans depend on trees from air to breath to wood for house. Besides
providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans, trees also offer watershed
protection, prevent soil erosion, reduce or slow down the amount of erosion and chemicals
that reach waterways, provide food and medicine, serve as a buffer in natural disasters like
flood and rainfalls, provide habitat to more than half of the world’s land-based species and
mitigate climate change.
[0004] Trees absorb harmful greenhouse gasses that produce climate change. In
tropical forests alone, a quarter of a trillion tons of carbon is stored in above and below
ground biomass. All products directly or indirectly come from trees. Some products are easy
to figure out, such as fruits, paper and wood from trees, and so on. Other products are less
obvious, such as by-products that go into everyday items like medicines, cosmetics and
detergents.
[0005] India is a country where various precious trees like Sandalwood, Khair, Sal,
Deodar, Sagwan etc., are available. As these trees are very valuable in Indian market as well
as in world market, so smuggling of these trees has also become a great issue. To stop
smuggling of the precious trees of our country many steps had been taken but they are not
fully successful. Government is also making various methods to identify and control theft.
Trained dogs are also used in forest to protect trees but the method is not feasible since it
requires trained manpower and dogs.
[0006] Ever increasing human demand is resulting in cutting of trees to fulfill human
greed. Moreover, increasing incidences of forest fire also imposes a detrimental impact.
3
Cutting of trees and forest fires result in ecological imbalance, loss of livelihood, loss of
habitat leading to loss in biodiversity. So, to continue survival and livelihood, protection of
trees is immediately and essentially required.
[0007] Many electronic devices for protecting trees are there in market, but lower
efficiency of the electronic devices and huge amount of power supply required to operate the
electronic devices pose a major challenge.
[0008] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a system to monitor and protect
trees efficiently, and generate power required for operation.

of intensity, pitch, type, and duration of set of acoustic signals associated with the
AOI.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system comprises one or more fire
detectors operatively coupled to the monitoring unit, the one or more fire detector
detects combustion parameters associated with the one or more trees in the AOI; and
wherein the monitoring unit is configured to generate a second warning signal when
the detected combustion parameters exceed a second pre-determined value.
4. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the combustion parameters are any or a
combination of smoke in the AOI, and temperature of the AOI.
5. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the system comprises an image acquisition
unit operatively coupled to the monitoring unit and positioned at the AOI, the image
acquisition unit capture one or more images of the AOI.
6. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the image acquisition unit configured to
capture the one or more images of a specific area in the AOI, wherein the specific
area in the AOI is determined based on any or a combination of the first generated
warning signal and the second generated warning signal.
16
7. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the system comprises a display unit
operatively coupled to the monitoring unit, the display unit is configured to display
one or more captured images of the AOI, and wherein any or a combination of the
first generated warning signal and the second generated warning signal is processed
by the one or more processors so as to represent location of the one or more trees
associated with any or a combination of the first generated warning signal and the
second generated warning signal on the display unit.
8. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system comprises one or more
communication units operatively coupled to the monitoring unit and configured to
communicatively couple the system to one or more mobile computing devices.
9. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the one or more communication units
comprise any or a combination of Wi-Fi module, geo-location application program
interface(API) module, Netis, and Zigbee module.
10. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system comprises a power
management unit operatively coupled to the monitoring unit/ system, the power
management unit supplies electric power to the system, and wherein the power
management unit comprises any or a combination of a battery, a electric power
source, a battery charger, and a solar panel.
