In some parts of Afrika, many of wild animals are in danger beacause people are taking the land that the animals need.
Trying to save the wildlife of Africa, we need to understand what happens to plants and animals over time.
So Cyber Tracker came in. It can help protect the animals. It helps collect information about animal.
It uses picture in stead of words to record information. So speaking different language is not problem.
The combination of machine and man seems to work very well and gets a lot of information.
To know cahnge the animal's lives. ( )

2.Write the summary of the book.

One of the conservationist is trying to save the wildlife of Africa. He feels that having good information about the animals is very important for success.
He says that people need to understand what happens to plants and animals over time. African Bushman may be able to help conservationists to answer these questions. However, they don't always speak the same language as the conservationists, which cause problems when they work together. This is where new ideas and new technology can help. The Cyber Tracker is an invention created by Louis Liebenberg.
It's a small computer that helps collect information about animals. It uses pictures, called 'icon', instead of words to record information. This is why, the Bushmen can record what they see even without words. The small computer also contains a global positioning device. Each time a Bushman see something interesting about an animal or plant, he pushes a button. The Chyber Tracker records exactly where the man is in the world.
When the trackers return to their base, they connect the Cyber Tracker to a personal computer. They give information about what the animals are eating, and indicate facts about their health.
The Cyber Tracker project started five years ago. At first, the idea was to help a few animals in danger. Nowadays, more and more people started using the Cyber Tracker in other African parks.

3. Write your feelings about the book in details.
"Now many conservationists around the world can get software.They have started adding the technology to their conservation problem."

In the near future, that kind of tool take place to have a conservation with foreigners without the help of translator. ( )
