| Abstract | In recent years, major advances in sensor and RED technologies, which produce new kinds of information, and wireless links, which communicate that information to users, have enabled new capabilities. Wireless links, which offer high performance communication of sensor or any information, are usually cheaper to buy and use compared to wired links, and can be reconfigured much easier. RFID technology used as a wireless sensor network is proposed in this research for protection of illegal teak logging in Bago Yoma of Myanmar. A teak forest in Bago Yoma hosen about 1 km2 area is investigated with this proposed technology. It is found that 1000 RFID tags are needed to monitor the movement of illegal logs in the deep forest. The investment is about 78,000 USD in return more than one million USD worth of teak. The study showed that such a technology implementation is feasible |
