dc.description.abstractEnvironmental monitoring plays a critical role in preserving biodiversity and ensuring sustainable management of protected areas. However, traditional monitoring approaches often lack efficiency, precision, and real-time responsiveness. This paper introduces an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) framework specifically designed for environmental monitoring in Strandja Nature Park—a region of significant ecological value located in Bulgaria. The proposed framework integrates advanced sensing technologies, low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) communications (LoRaWAN), and cloud-based analytics to enable real-time tracking of environmental parameters, including air quality, soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and wildlife presence. A practical deployment of the IoT system demonstrates enhanced capabilities in data acquisition, coverage, energy efficiency, and early detection of ecological disturbances. The results highlight significant improvements over conventional methods in terms of accuracy, data granularity, and cost-effectiveness. Ultimately, this framework provides valuable insights for proactive environmental management, paving the way toward a more comprehensive, sustainable, and technologically advanced approach to biodiversity conservation in protected natural regions.
