Abstract

One of the biggest threats to humanity and nature in recent times is the change in climate such as the Global warming that is caused by the excess emissions of carbon to the atmosphere. Apart from these there are also other notable climate changes that affect nature. The major cause for Global warming is deforestation even though factors such as industrial effluents, automobile exhaust also contribute a little to this catastrophe. Many serious measures have been taken by the Government of various countries to keep in control of the rustlers involved in Deforestation. Some of these methods include fixing of a large number of cameras in certain areas of the forest spread over a wide range, awareness programs including public awareness, automatic alarm testing, use of satellites to provide images of forests, etc. Some of the issues to be considered when implementing such schemes are hugs cost and power consumption. Also the lifetime of the materials and hardware used should be considered. In this paper, an efficient wireless sensor networking algorithm is proposed that can be used to prolong the life time of the network by using the Heterogeneous - Hybrid Energy Efficient Distributed Protocol (H-HEED).
