About the prerequisites.
I think it might be a good idea to have a certain level of observation.
It's not unreasonable, but since it is debatable, I'll leave the final decision up to you.

It would be insane for someone to be very good at tracking with little to no observation skills.
Maybe you could have it so to be competent/expert/master at tracking you must have #observation.
That could be put into the skill development section.

As for wilderness survival and land navigation, they would most probably fall under related skills.
One can track in cities, thus eliminating the need for wilderness skills.

This is the archived link to tracking

The initial post was deleted yes. Both Azmere and Gillar were part of this post and could offer advise if it is needed. You don't necessarily need to be skilled in something in real life to write an article about it. Just make sure you do proper research.

Here are a variety of links to aid in your research.

Tracking Animals

The six disciplines of tracking

Survival: Tracking Animals From Traces - many short videos from this guy who teaches techniques in other videos.

Wilderness survival also touches up on tracking, and it is a fundamental skill to aid in hunting. Tracking, Wilderness Survival, and Hunting as skills are used together as such I will research character sheets of well played hunters and observe whether or not tracking has been rewarded in conjunction with hunting and observation. As of now I do not see it needing a per-requisite, but those skills will overall affect the abilities of tracking and vice versa.
