Animal movement technologies have already significantly advanced our understanding of the natural world, from uncovering previously mysterious migration patterns and key movement corridors to demonstrating the impacts of anthropogenic pressures and climate change. Continuing advances in the development of technologies for collecting and transmitting bio-logging data, combined with the increased availability of high-resolution environmental data and analytical developments in movement modelling, are opening doors to novel applications. However, there are still major gaps in the space, including mobilizing movement data to translate data from tracking devices into insights for application in policy and practice. This group is a place for the animal movement community to connect and discuss our efforts to advance the field.
