Illegal logging has been identified as a major problem in the world, which may be minimized through effective monitoring of forest covered areas. In this paper, we propose and describe the initial steps to build a new three-tier architecture for Forest Monitoring based on Wireless Sensor Network and Chainsaw Noise Identification using a Neural Network. In addition to detection of chainsaw noises, we also propose methodologies to localize the origin of the chainsaw noise.
