Four chapters follow in this book: Background, Challenges, Foresight, and Conclusion – What’s Next. The first chapter, Background, takes stock of land monitoring practices in European countries. The second chapter, Challenges, relates a range of issues encountered with land monitoring as it is currently practised and how such matters can be better resolved through improved collaboration. Building upon these findings, the third chapter, Foresight, outlines the HELM (Harmonised European Land Monitoring) roadmap towards a mature, integrated pan-European land monitoring system based upon aggregated national data which are supplemented by centrally produced base data. The concluding chapter, What’s Next, sets the HELM project and its recommendations in context.

Abstract
In this study, a technique based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) for matching mother reindeer to their calves in order to identify the ownership of the calves is presented. This task is currently performed using manual techniques which are stressful on the animals and herders alike. Various potential WSN technologies are considered. RFID technology was given greater interest as it is widely used in animal identification. A method based on Wi-Fi enabled active RFID tags is proposed in this work. This technique entails the temporary attachment of Wi-Fi enabled RFID tags to the necks of the calf and mother reindeers and to monitor the location of those tags using the Wi-Fi network. A detailed discussion of localization algorithms to monitor the location of the tags and to determine the correlation between any pairs of tags which indicate mother and her calf is presented. This work aims to pave the way for the use of wireless sensor networks for the purpose of matching mother reindeer to their calves and for other matching purposes in animal welfare and industry.
