"The GAIA project offers the opportunity to better understand our environment in order to protect the ecosystem and the planet in which we live. The work within an interdisciplinary consortium for this project is challenging, but has a certain charm though. Different worlds with different understanding collide. As senior scientist for satellite communications I try to translate the biologists needs into technical requirements for the communication system – a task, which I enjoy and drives my personal motivation. Biologists meets engineers for Life!"

"As an enthusiastic electrical engineer, I am interested in technology and natural science. What appeals to me about the project from a technical point of view is the development of a new type of animal transmitter with camera and image processing, which is energy-autonomous, miniaturized and optimally adapted to the anatomy of the vulture. I also like the fact that the project makes an important contribution to nature and animal conservation, which is more important than ever, especially in today's world."

"It’s not only our duty but necessity to save wildlife to save ourselves from the destruction caused by humans-wildlife conflicts. The GAIA TAG is need of the hour and I believe this is just the beginning of new era in the world of wildlife research. As a researcher, I consider this as dream come true opportunity, to be part of the eco system provided by Fraunhofer IIS in association with Leibniz-IZW, in solving zoological problems and research."

"Making the seemingly impossible possible through a combination of ideas, creativity and innovation - that's what excites me. When the resulting technologies are applied in a context as significant as that of the GAIA project, it is all the more impressive. As a result, we can directly contribute to advancing the conservation of endangered species."

"As someone with a great affinity for modern technology and technology, I am fascinated by the complex issues that can be solved in non-technical areas, such as wildlife conservation, with the help of computers. What I love about the GAIA Initiative is that it combines both, current research and state-of-the-art technical advancement – in a challenging but at the same time extremely fascinating way. "

"Rapidly growing needs of humans and corresponding exploitation of natural resources threatens the ecological integrity of the forest and its inhabitants. Realizing the need for immediate conservation of wildlife, it's our bonded duty to act now to reverse the declining trend of climate. I firmly believe the GAIA Initiative is one such step towards this goal. As a researcher, I am greatly obliged to Fraunhofer IIS and Leibniz-IZW for allowing me to contribute to solve problems related to wildlife conservation."
