TL;DR: The ICARUS initiative (www.IcarusInitiative.org), the International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space (ICARUS) as mentioned in this paper, has proposed a small-animal satellite tracking system that would enable the global monitoring of animals down to the size of the smallest birds, mammals (bats), marine life and eventually large insects.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the relatively modest investment into a global small-animal tracking system will pay off by providing unprecedented insights into both basic and applied nature, and to contribute to an emerging groundswell of scientific support to make such a new technological system happen.

TL;DR: An Automated Radio-Telemetry System (ARTS) that is designed and built on Barro Colorado Island, Panama and used to track 374 individual animals from 38 species, including 17 mammal species, 12 birds, 7 reptiles or amphibians, as well as two species of plant seeds is described.
