Direct onboard feedback to the animals is the key

For decades, scientists have been tracking and tracing animals with telemetry attached to the animal to devise better protection strategies. But nobody ever imagined to directly use the information of the whereabouts and surroundings to feed back information to the animal directly. Why not? The animals already carry small electronic devices, sometimes for years. These may use GPS localization, as well as telecommunication and sensors, to transmit information to the human scientist. They have micro-controllers.    
So why not warn the animal of imminent danger directly, by using a suitable "actuator", i.e. some signal like sound, light, vibration etc. that the bird can sense and react to, ideally even learn to interpret? 

That's the fundamental idea behind bAWARE.
