Conservation technology is already transforming our understanding of climate change's impacts on key environments and species around the world, allowing us to monitor populations and their changing ranges, observe habitat destruction and events like coral bleaching over time, and study the aftermath of major climate disasters like bushfires.
Because climate change is a global challenge shared by all of us, with no species, habitat, or continent completely untouched by its impacts, it's more important than ever to unite the conservation tech users and makers who are already gathering critical data and forming innovative ideas to help us meet these challenges.
Whatever conservation technology you work with, and whatever your expertise may be, there is a place for you in the fight against climate change. This group is a place to brainstorm and collaborate, share experiences and commiserate about the challenges ahead, find reasons to be optimistic about technology's role in this fight, and hopefully spark ideas that can make a positive impact for the species and habitats that we protect.
Wondering how to get started in this group? Here are some examples of topics to kick things off:
- Do you have a case study or project update related to climate change impacts? (For example, have your study species' migratory patterns changed because of changing weather patterns? Did your Audiomoths or camera traps capture data on a climate-driven disaster? Have challenges like melting sea ice altered your research timelines or made it more difficult to study your species?)
- Do you have a question about how your expertise could fit into innovating climate change solutions? Or do you have data to share that could help someone else understand climate change impacts or address challenges?
- Do you have an innovative idea that could help combat climate change, but need input or skills from other members with expertise in different areas or with different tools?
- Do you have a great resource to share that could help other members learn something new about climate change technology?
This group is new to the WILDLABS platform and set to grow - we can't wait to see what resources you'll share, what projects you'll start, and what solutions you'll find together!
