WILDLABS
World Wide Fund for Nature/ World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
With experts across the WILDLABS community working with every type of technology and in every imaginable environment, our platform is a great place to find advice and resources on choosing what tools are right for your conservation project. Whether you're in the market to try a new camera trap model, want to experiment with drones for the first time, or need help weighing the pros and cons of data management tools, there's someone in the WILDLABS community who can help you make a smart and informed choice!
The Community Base is our general gathering group. It's the place where we cover more general, big picture topics in conservation technology - ones that don't fit neatly into our other groups. If you don't know where to post something, just post it in this group. Our moderators will move it if needed!
At our Community Base, you'll find updates from the WILDLABS team on upcoming events and opportunities, and have the chance to shape our programs and platform with your opinions. And most importantly, the Community Base is also home to our Welcome to WILDLABS thread, the best place to introduce yourself to us and the community. Stop by and tell us what you're working on!
Whether you're new to WILDLABS and want to know where to begin, or you're a longtime member looking for a handy bank of resources, our Getting Started on WILDLABS thread will be your one-stop guide to getting the most out of our platform.

11 August 2024 1:21am
That's a great question! I don't have any answers but my first thought was that the detection part of the problem looks very different when you're looking for plants vs animals (no camera traps, audio recorders, etc.) and often quite hard, as you're having to discriminate species that may be difficult to identify even in hand.
I'd love to hear more from people who are working on this!
11 August 2024 7:07am
Thank you for your valuable insights. I, too, am eager to hear more from those actively working on this issue.

Hi Asia @blackmammalogistsweek :)
Pleasure to connect with you! I'm part of the WILDLABS team here, supporting our East Africa Community.
Thanks for sharing details on the Black Mammalogists Week events which sound exciting, informative and vital for amplifying the voices and perspectives of Black mammalogists across the world. I'd love to invite you to share the events on our Events page here for visibility with our wider community.
Additionally, for the September 16th tech panel, I'd like to suggest a few conservation tech practitioners/mammalogists here on WILDLABS:
- Simon Musila, MAKENYA App (@MAKENYA) - Mammal Atlas Kenya project is a Kenyan Citizen Science App to monitor rare and common mammals.
- Owino Raymond, CLP Awardee (@Owino_Raymond) - Tech4Wildlife Leaders: Resolving Human-Giraffe Conflict
- Adventina Anthony, WiCT 2024 (@Tina) - Meet Our Cohort & Mentors: Women in Conservation Technology Programme, Tanzania 2024
- Susan Chege, WiCT 2023 (@SusanChege) - Women in Conservation Technology, Tanzania: Unveiling Our Cohort
Hope this information is useful!
Best wishes :)

Hey @cesar_rou ,
I've heard about these internship/volunteer opportunities that may be of your interest.
https://archipelago.gr/get-involved/placements-and-internships/marine-mammal-team/
https://www.cetaceos.org/intership-erasmus/
https://www.cetaceos.org/volunteering/
Also you could subscribe to MARMAM list which often post on training opportunities related to marine mammals.
6 August 2024 3:37pm
Hi César,
Is there a geographic area you're limited to? That would help to narrow down options.
I would recommend reaching out perhaps to the Kitzes Lab, Sound Forest Lab, or Cornell Yang Center?
