Abstract - Wildlife requirement overlaps human population, creating cost to residents and cultivated field. Wild animals often destroy standing crops, due to which annual production of crops reduces causing economic losses to farmers. In our region, farmer suicide is big problem due to low productivity among farms. This low productivity is because of two main reasons i.e. Crop destroyed by wild animals and Crop destroyed by nature object. This paper provides review for complete technical solution using wireless sensor network (WSN) and Internet of Things (IOT) to the farmers to prevent their crops from wild animals. It includes all the types of sensors, controller, actuator required for WSN and raspberry pi as a heart of the system.

I. Introduction
The conservation of crop field from the wild animal has been a main aim of this paper. The animals from the wild area are continuously attacking to crop from so many years and the protection of this crop field from wild animals is the serious issue. The wild animals face an shortage of water and food due to which they move towards the agriculture area which creates great loss to the crops and annual income of farmers, when wild animals enter in a farm there is a need for an alert system to prevent crops from damages from wild animal. The proposed paper is completely technical solution for each farmer using wireless sensor network (WSN) and Internet of Things (IOT). This paper focuses on algorithm to detect the presence of animals near the crop field. The main heart of the system that is used here is the Raspberry pi which is a widespread platform and the WSN. The Raspberry Pi is a sequence of credit cardsized single-board computers established in United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large number of autonomous sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions. A typical WSN consists of various clusters connected with the sink node. Each cluster has number of sensor nodes having one Master node capable of collecting the data from remaining nodes. Each Sensor node requires four basic units i.e. sensing unit, processing unit, transceiver unit and a power unit, every...
