There was the same research done with Coral reefs [1] and I thought Oregon State University did something similar in forests as well. I can provide some reef sounds if you'd really like to hear :)
"such systems could be deployed around the globe as a means of assisting land managers with detecting illegal activities in real-time."
I doubt the problem is in detecting illegal activities harming the environment.
And deploying iot devices across million km, I highly doubt this is economically viable, even if the devices cost nothing, deploying them would be a huge investment.
Surely satellites can already do a decent job of detecting illegal activities, at scale. Research funding continues going downhill with non sensical investments.
