In the name of "safety" and "security" we are wiring the forests of the world. Not surprisingly, those who claim to love nature and the wild are the ones who are most eager to pollute the wild with Big Brother's eyes on every tree.
There are forest surveillance and monitoring systems set up all throughout the wilderness of the western world. Think about that the next time your little girl goes to tinkle in the bushes. They know you lit that cooking fire, and they didn't even have to get up out of their chair to know it.
There are Forest Sensors and Cameras to detect fires, smoke, and even observe the weather.

There are even cameras DEEP DEEP within the forest looking for individuals who might be breaking the law (as far back as 10 years now).
